"From a year that was austere for several decades but which has emerged as one of the most underrated choices for top-flight mature white Burgundy today, the 1993 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing very well indeed, wafting from the glass with notes of tangerine oil, crisp yellow orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, iodine and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, textural and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity that's balanced by concentrated fruit, it concludes with a long, intensely sapid finish."

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.
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.
