A softly perfumed, incredibly complex and pure nose of utterly gorgeous secondary fruit notes that are mixed with a trace of botrytis leads to incredibly textured, sappy, mouth coating, deep and classy flavors featuring an intense minerality and plenty of the classic green apple notes of a fine Corton-Charlemagne. A superb effort in the context of the vintage that is drinking perfectly now though will continue to hold for another decade. Tasted only once recently but it was consistent with my older note.

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.
Corton is the Cote de Beaune's principal red Grand Cru, spanning the Corton hill across Aloxe-Corton and neighbors, producing powerful, tannic and structured Pinot Noir reds needing time to soften and unfold.
