Tasting at the domaine. Bottled in March. Lots of apple start-to-finish. Ripe and juicy start with more intensity and textures emerging from middle to end. Finishes with lots of energy. No signs in the wine of the hail damage that destroyed 70% of the crop.

Tasting at the domaine. Intensely floral start with ripe apple and pear as well as spice hints. Much like the 2013 just tasted, starting out lush and rich, then picking up textures and power from middle forward. This wine has been consistent across many times tasted.

Tasting at the domaine. Intensely floral start with subtle orchard fruit aromas. Restrained fruit start-to-finish with intense power and concentration with a a slightly backward character for now. Perhaps the best potential of all vintages tasted today, from 2019 or 2020 forward.

Tasting at the domaine. Floral with very good spice and plenty of apple with some squeezed lemon wedges. Tense and energetic. While this seems were acidic vs other vintages, Jean-Charles says that is the chalk character of the terroir coming through. Also consistent with the many other times I have tasted this wine.

Tasted at the domaine. The ripest of all vintages tasted today, showing intensity but without fat. Apple and some peach on nose and palate. Lush and fun but with the density and minerality on finish that maintains Martray's familiar steely Corton-Charlemagne character.

Tasting at domaine from a bottle opened in the morning. Baked apple with brown spice on nose and palate. Persistent and nicely unctuous. Very enjoyable today (90 points), but I'm not sure I'd have the confidence in a bottle that hadn't been at Martray since bottling.
