93 WA "The 2013 Corton-Charlemagne has a reticent nose at first but it opens with time in the glass: lime flower, cold limestone, a hint of wild mint and garrigue in the background. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a crisp line of acidity, very harmonious with a long and tender, minerally finish. This is a lovely Corton-Charlemagne. Excellent . . . . their Corton-Charlemagne is a little gem and likewise cheaper than many of its peers."

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.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
