A négociant cuvée derived from sources in Pernand and Ladoix, the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru reveals notes of citrus oil, green apple and pear, framed by a deft touch of nutty, toasty new oak. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's lively and incisive, but it's more open and expressive than the super concentrated La Croix bottling that hails from the same appellation as Girardin's domaine holdings.
