"Highly aromatic nose combines pineapple, spiced apple, lime oil, nutmeg and mint; essence of Corton-Charlemagne. Thick with extract and wonderfully sweet, with powerful, thoroughly ripe fruit and terrific grip. Exhilarating sugar/acid balance. Youthfully unevolved but not hard. Finishes with superb palate-staining length rare for Corton-Charlemagne in this vintage. Should make an outstanding bottle."

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.
