"Domaine Leroy's sole white, the 1997 Corton-Charlemagne, reveals magnificently ripe aromas of poached pears, apples, smoke, anise, earth, and grilled oak. This sweet, rich, tangy, lively, medium to full-bodied wine offers a flavor profile composed of candied lemons, minerals, and nuts. It is extremely well-balanced, concentrated, and possesses a long, toasty finish."

Aloxe-Corton is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune, ringing the Corton hill and holding Premier Cru vineyards; it produces mostly firm, structured, earthy Pinot Noir reds built for medium-term aging.
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.
