Jean Marc Roulot Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 1500ml

2014

Burghound 93: The expressive nose is a mix of primary and secondary fruit (though no sous-bois), spice, wet stone and citrus confit. The very rich, even seductive, medium-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate density while delivering very fine length on the mineral-driven finish. I was a bit surprised how supple this was given both the vintage and the Roulot style. With that said, there is still a few years of upside development potential to be had and I would suggest a few more years of keeping first.

2015

Burghound 93: A ripe and mildly exotic combination offers notes of lychee nut, white peach, spice, jasmine tea and a hint of matchstick character. There is impressive richness to the opulent, round and full-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the bitter lemon and slightly warm but well-focused finish. This is a relatively tightly wound 2015 that should age well.
