The 1991 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is still entrancing after 22 years. The aromatics rivet you to the spot with its compelling scents of dried yellow flowers, minerals and lemon zest that has an almost unnatural level of vibrancy. The palate has a viscous entry and remains exquisitely balanced with stunning tension and vibrancy. It then glides effortlessly towards a lightly nutty finish that leaves you gasping for the next sip. Magical! Drink now-2020+. Tasted November 2013.
Here is another raft of wines from the most feted and yet still mysterious Cote de Beaune growers. Jean-Francois Coche’s reds are more elusive than his whites, but they can be astonishing.
