"The 2009 Corton-Charlemagne is fleshy and super-ripe to the point of being almost exotic. This is a hugely expressive young Corton-Charlemagne from Coche loaded with personality and sheer class. It possesses stunning depth and a refined, kaleidoscopic finish that is remarkable. RaphaĆ«l Coche-Dury remarks that this was the first 2009 to go through malolactic fermentation. Readers who are fortunate enough to source this wine will find a gorgeous bottle to enjoy while some of the more structured vintages such as 2010 take their time in bottle to reach maturity. RaphaĆ«l Coche-Dury is just past his 30th birthday, but he has already spent more than half his life working at the familyās illustrious domaine. It is quite evident RaphaĆ«l Coche intends to follow his father footsteps, so the future seems to be in very capable hands."

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 is the Cote de Beaune's principal red Grand Cru, spanning the Corton hill across Aloxe-Corton and neighbors, producing powerful, tannic and structured Pinot Noir reds needing time to soften and unfold.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
