The 2014 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is a blend of Pernand and Aloxe-Corton fruit, whereas the previous vintage was just the latter due to hail damage. Interestingly, Pierre-Yves told me that he always picks both sites on the same date (around September 15). It has a clean and precise bouquet, although like many, it just seems to lack the animation, the minerality of some of the fine premier cru sites in the C?te de Beaune. The palate is nicely balanced with a keen thread of acidity, though it just seems to attenuate a little towards the finish.
