"Opening in the glass with aromas of sweet orchard fruits mingled with honeycomb, butterscotch, iodine and smoke, the 1991 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a broad, satiny, enveloping palate that's fleshy and gourmand. This is an opulent, gourmand vintage for Bonneau du Martray that remains very youthful at over 30 years of age."
