"Roumier made a gorgeous Corton Charlemagne in 1995 which displays a fabulous nose of sweet vanillin, toasted oak and super-ripe fruits. The explosive palate bursts with tropical fruits (somewhat reminiscent of a top-of-the-line California Chardonnay in style) and is full-bodied, thick-textured and with excellent length. Normal production for this wine runs between 1200-1400 bottles per year. In 1995 only 882 were produced. Drink now-2006. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The harvest took place here on September 29 for the Corton-Charlemagne and between October 2 and 9 for the reds. Yields averaged 28 hectoliters/hectare. Overall, Roumier's 1995s are stunning wines. They have breathtaking ripeness of fruit, elegance, power and texture. Bravo."

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.
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.
