The 2016 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru was badly hit by the frost since the domaine's parcel is situated on the Pernand side of the hill (whereas the Aloxe-Corton side was less affected). Quantity was reduced by almost 70%. It has a comparatively austere bouquet for a Corton-Charlemagne, reserved at first with granite and sea spray scents. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, with a touch of spice on the entry, although I feel it lacks weight and matière on the mid-palate and attenuates slightly toward the finish. I just feel that the frost devastation compromised the final quality of this Corton-Charlemagne.
