97+ JG "It is woefully early to be broaching bottles of the 2000 Coche Corton-Charlie, but for those with the need to know, this is destined to be a pretty amazing vintage for this wine. The nose is still in its very primary and floral, offering up impressively delicate notes of apple, pear, lemon zest, spring flowers, almond paste, kaleidoscopic minerality and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is fullish and tight, with excellent depth at the core, laser-like focus, and a rapier-like backend. This may not have quite the same depth and power as the 1999, but it seems to be even finer and more expressive than that more massive vintage. This will be a great wine . . ." 94-95 WA ". . . Has the austerity found in many of this vineyard's wines in the 2000 vintage. However, it is vinous, rich, and broad. Pure flavors of minerals, toast, and spices can be found in its highly delineated, profound offering."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
