"The 2009 Corton-Charlemagne is magnificent. It possesses remarkable detail and nuance. This is a decidedly elegant Corton-Charlemagne that impresses for its elegance. It is cool, inward and precise from start to finish. Colin-Morey works with two parcels, one on the Aloxe side, the other on the Pernand side. Both were harvested on the same day, vinified together and aged in Chassin barrels, one of them new."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
