Sorry for your disappointment. Was this the Le Corton? All the sub plots in Corton make it confusing.
I confess to not really loving Bouchard, but have heard getting better (and have had stunning whites)
I think Corton is very variable, but the best ones need a lot of time (more than most GCs). But this doesn't sound like it will be one of those.
