I have to admit, this was hopefully getting better through aeration, so I upgraded the mark a bit along the tasting, when I was first a bit disappointed !
Day one, which was Sep 18, through Coravin, the wine was ok, showing buttery and a bit limp ... but day two showed what the wine had in its guts !
Lots of toffee, and salty caramel, then with air, complex nose of bee wax, ripe apple and pear... buttery but not fat, more like a brioche, croissant... viennoiserie !
Firstly a little limp, it gained depth and acidity along the tasting showing how intense that area can get, and how powerful the Corton Terroir grows both in bottle and in glass ! It was long, powerful yet balanced and still gaining zingy tartness along the evening ! The Charmes 2011 felt oxidized next to that monster Chardonnay !
What a tremendous wine in a so called warm vintage, I felt like I d be disappointed ! One left in the cellar, and I feel like not touching the younger ones ! so glad I opened it (266 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 8/4/2023 & rated 95 points: 10th of 12, decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level, even better as it approaches proper maturity is exchanging puppy fat for concentration, fruit intensity and steel, upside, 15+ years. VF (18.5)......I broached these too soon as this is showing ageworthiness of BdM! (306 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 10/27/2022 & rated 94 points: 9th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, another beautiful bottle, maybe slightly tighter and more mineral (a good thing) as it loses the last of its puppy fat, consistent so far, upside, 10+ years. F+ (18). (571 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 1/9/2022 & rated 94 points: 8th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, as July bottle, upside, good for 10 years+ if pox avoided. F+ (18). (857 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 7/29/2021 & rated 94 points: 7th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, tighter and more steel than bottle noted in Feb, lovely stuff, maybe upside yet. F+ (18). (1012 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 2/19/2021 & rated 93 points: 5th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, yellower, fatter, only just enough citrus to cut through, good volume, not quite enough steel, no rush. F+ (18). (1030 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 11/21/2020 & rated 94 points: 4th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, au fond as May bottle, just a sense of broadening unhelpfully and kicking up a gear in evolution, youthful robe though. F+ (18)..........needs watching as white Burgs are capable of going from hero to zero in an evolutionary blink of an eye, cf my Lafon Perrieres 06! (1074 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 5/16/2020 & rated 94 points: 3rd of 12, opened 90 minutes, perfect cork and level, big step up on last year's bottle, tighter, more zip and zest, even some steel, former sweetish palate now properly dry but with inherent richness of vintage, early maturity with scope to improve yet. F+ (18).…..interesting comparison with excellent BdM 2000 on same night. (1030 views) | | | Tasted by essconsults on 12/10/2019 flawed bottle: POXED (1177 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 7/11/2019 & rated 92 points: 2nd of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, tighter, better and with more pronounced citric zip than last November's bottle, slightly too sweet mid palate typical of 09 and could do with showing greater minerality and steel, still early days! At least F (17.5). (1023 views) | | | Tasted by _water.into.wine_ on 1/19/2019 & rated 94 points: From magnum. All petrol initially but thankfully this blows off.
Nice fruit (especially citrus with hints of lime) and becomes buttery; both in aromas and in texture. Some lovely butterscotch also develops.
Much better with air and fills out with time. A nice wine with a long future ahead. This kept well over three days and hardly budged. Impressive (1041 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 11/16/2018 & rated 92 points: 1st of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level - very much as my note on a restaurant magnum two years ago, still showing youthful puppy fat, slightly too broad and floral, though with nice apple component, fresh, would expect to tighten and show more mineral and thankfully no hint of POX or the blowsiness of some 09s. At least F (17.5). (994 views) | | | Tasted by SussexSB on 8/20/2018 & rated 93 points: Terrific from magnum. No hint of premox. Lovely lime cordial straw colour, evolves in glass and warrants a proper burg glass. More mineral than butter. Will go further and could get better. Has certainly come on in past 2 years. Proper Corton. (1094 views) | | | Tasted by thomasito2001 on 4/18/2016 & rated 94 points: This wine has significantly improved since I last had it. The nose is very buttery/nutty and evokes Meursault. Ripe to very ripe fruit aromas. The rich material inside is balanced by a great, sharp and clean acidity and the aromatic profile has blended harmoniously to give a rich, almost exuberant wine, but with all of its components falling in the right place it is a pure joy to drink. (1950 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 3/2/2016 & rated 92 points: Magnum and 12 bottles, perfect level, magnum pnp - leggy light yellow; attractive bouquet, more floral as yet than mineral, quite honeyed/rich for CC; medium full, waxy, very long and persistent, bit simple and not quite the usual lemon cut and steely minerality of CC, may develop with more maturity which would help combat the richness of the vintage. Should improve from current F (17.5). (1730 views) | | | Tasted by Oh Dae-su on 7/1/2014 & rated 87 points: Very hard for me to understand. Anything like all the C-C I had so far (including some from Rapet, and this 2009 at a very young stage).
Very sweet, soft, very oaked and creamy C-C with a lot of butterscotch and hardly any trace of typical C-C seriousness. Fruit was pretty flat and exoticl,
however rather good volume, fair complexitiy and a bit too much alc. For me this one had nothing to do with a Corton-Charlemagne. Unfortunately, because I used to be
fan of Rapet whites. (2606 views) | | | Tasted by Philippe_C on 6/8/2014 & rated 95 points: Very nice nose of grany smith, citrus, minerality... very sappy citrus, mineral, long yellow and green apple, very long aftertaste... great white Burgundy! (2502 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 5/30/2014 & rated 92 points: Bordeaux 1985 as main theme (@ Bottles; Sas van Gent, Netherlands): Just limited notes. The wine is still locked and very youthful. There are tropical fruits like pineapple, good fresh citrus and well dosed luxurious oak. Beautiful wine. Hope to taste again. 92+ (2060 views) | | | Tasted by Sleepy Dave on 5/7/2013 & rated 92 points: Alcohol ::
Light golden. Smoky note accompany by toasted nuttiness, lemon custard and earthiness. With time, some herbs emerged. Medium - full bodied. This is showing very nicely with all the umami, complex saline minerality note. It is more smoky and toasted on the palate which I believe should be coming from the oak barrel. The mid palate is getting deeper and richer, rounded up with silky, layer mouth feel, with excellent purity and finesse. Long and seductively persistent. 92-93+ (3330 views) | | | Tasted by thomasito2001 on 1/4/2013 & rated 92 points: Young and not showing much at this stage, the wine has an abundant material of very high quality and should become even more rewarding with some bottle age. Power of this wine is impressive. (2294 views) | | | Tasted by Alex H on 7/21/2012 & rated 86 points: Creamy peaches and peanut butter ripe nectarines. Broad palate. More expressive and fleshier than the 2010 (2168 views) | | | Tasted by S1 on 6/21/2011: Burgundy Tuesday--21 juin 2011: Softer and creamier but with the same austere hand. Really love this one. Big Charlemagne shoulders. Lemon curd, toast, a little pineapple. Great acidity. Incredible now—how about in 5 years? (2346 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
