2024 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine de Montille

This vineyard was bought at the turn of the century but was regrafted with Chardonnay a few years later as it was felt that the soil in the upper part was better suited to making top class whites than top class Pinots. The ’24 version is very much a baby, showing reduction and a gangly awkwardness that needs time to sort out. There is excellent presence and matière in this wine, that should re-appear triumphantly in about 10 years’ time. Drink from 2034
