Score 93-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2018

(harvested last among the whites, on September 29; no frost here): Bright, green-tinged yellow. Highly distinctive aromas of lime, powdered stone, mint, pine needles and white pepper; fruit is the least of it! A seriously concentrated wine of terroir , showing lovely powdered-stone lift to its flavors of menthol, chalk, brown bread and fresh mushroom. Saline, tightly wound wine with lovely clarity and inner-mouth tension; quite dry but plenty ripe. The salty, tactile finish saturates the palate and leaves the taste buds quivering. Very Corton-Charlemagne! (12.6% without chaptalization)

The 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a lovely licorice-tinged bouquet with impressive intensity and fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity, quite harmonious in the mouth but just missing a touch of mineral tension toward the saline finish.
