There are only two barrels of 2013 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru this year instead of the usual six. The nose is feisty at first, offering fresh mango, dried apricots and wild honey that gains intensity in the glass, then ebbs back and achieves more focus. The palate is taut and fresh with quite pointed acidity and then it just starts to run out of breath at the finish, as if it had used up all its energy on the aromatics.

Drink 2017-2030.
