93 JM . 90 AM "The initial hints of secondary aromas are now appearing and lead to round, rich and full-bodied flavors that have lost none of their detail or precision and the beautifully long finish offers really lovely complexity. In particular, this has kept its intensity and there is still some underlying reserve, which suggests that it has not quite reached its peak."

Corton-Charlemagne is a white Grand Cru on the Corton hill in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, producing rich, powerful and mineral Chardonnay whites of great structure, aromatic complexity and remarkable aging potential.
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.
