The 2016 Corton Vergennes Grand Cru offers up aromas of lemon oil, green apple and iodine, framed by rapidly dissipating reduction. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, open-knit and fleshy, with moderate concentration and ripe acids, falling a little flat on the finish.

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Chanson's 2014 Corton Vergennes Grand Cru is very reduced on the nose and this detracts from typicity—it could come from anywhere (or at least from any winemaker pursuing a Coche-Dury-like reduction!). The palate is well balanced with a soft opening and lower acidity than I would anticipate from the 2014 vintage, with a fluffy, brioche-tinged finish. Drink sooner rather than later.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Corton Vergennes Grand Cru has a forward and quite powerful bouquet with notes of dried honey and brioche infusing the citrus fruit, rich but unlike several Corton-Charlemagnes from this vintage, I don't find too much botrytis here. The palate is waxy on the entry with perhaps a little too much lime. It feels balanced with noticeable oak, the finish predictable and missing some precision and mineralité. Tasted May 2016.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Corton Vergennes Grand Cru from Chanson has a forward and disconcertingly mature nose that seems eight to ten-years-old rather than just two or three. The palate just seems to be going nowhere, rather flat and enervated, static and bereft of that crucial element of tension. This is a bit of a disappointment following its performance just after bottling and on this showing, I would drink this sooner rather than later.
