Vinous (86-88)The 2018 Corton Grand Cru feels a little dilute on the nose of airy red fruit, a little ephemeral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with rustic tannins and good acidity but a little simple for a Grand Cru on the finish. The jury is out on this. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet of yellow plum and light mirabelle scents, touches of almond emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, fine acidity and touches of ginger and lemongrass toward the finish. This is the most promising of three wines tasted from Charles Van Canneyt. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fontenys 1er Cru has a superb bouquet: beautifully defined and very pure, featuring a gorgeous rose petal note. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins, fine acidity and a sorbet-fresh, persistent finish. Alongside the Cazetiers, this would be my pick from Charles Van Canneyt. Recommended. |

The palate is fresh on the entry and quite saline, displaying good depth and persistence on the finish. Give it two or three years in bottle and you will probably end up with a charming Charmes. |
