Roasted hazelnut and baked apple dominate the nose here, undercut by citrus pith and a saline mineral thread that runs straight through to the finish. Those flavors trace back to the limestone and marl soils of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy's highest-elevation white Grand Cru, where chalky bedrock concentrates both tension and richness in the Chardonnay. Bouchard Père & Fils, founded in 1731, holds significant holdings on the hill and has long vinified the fruit to emphasize structure over early approachability. The 2018 delivers weight and precision in equal measure.
