Great promise in this oddball of a wine. Slightly earthy and overly oaky, this full-bodied white comes around on the finish, where it is sweet and harmonious and really struts its stuff. Pineapple, honey and sweet pear. Terrific finish. Best from 2005 through 2012. 875 cases made.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
