The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru offers up expressive, generously oak-inflected aromas of crisp orchard fruit, vanilla pod, anise and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, delicately textural and open-knit, with tangy acids and a saline finish, it can't match the concentration of other recent vintages from the Buisson brothers—and it's also a little dominated by its élevage right now—but I suspect it will come together nicely with a few years in the cellar.
