Ravaut Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2018

the Ravauts’ entire production is only 900 bottles, and we’re allocated far less. We thought the fruit in the 2018 was gorgeous, and there are plenty of stony notes to mingle with it. This wine has a complexity and intensity that is truly impressive, and while the price isn’t small when compared to lower-ranked white Burgundies, in comparison to Grand Cru from around Montrachet, it’s a veritable bargain. Look for notes of gardenia, chalk, pineapple, and dried melon.
