A new cuvée for Moreau debuts with the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, the result of an exchange in must from a proprietor with vines in Aloxe-Corton. Offering up aromas of green apple, white flowers, toasted nuts and iodine, the wine is full-bodied, deep and tensile, with a satiny attack that segues into a layered core that's framed by lively acids and chalky extract.
Pungent aromas of phenolic character and wood set off aromas of green fruit, floral, spice and once again mineral reduction. There is excellent volume and intensity to the muscular, taut and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that exhibit excellent length on the clean, dry and impressively complex finish. This is potentially an outstanding Corton-Charlemagne that should also age gracefully.
