The 2008 Corton-Charlemagne has a delightful, lifted bouquet of patisserie and vanilla, hints of apricot blossom developing with aeration. The palate is crisp on the entry with grapefruit, pineapple and a touch of melted butter. There is a fine seam of acidity with a crisp, apple blossom and passion fruit finish. This Corton-Charlemagne is just beginning to open, although I would be inclined to afford it another three or four years in bottle. Tasted December 2012.

A powerful, expansive white, whose citrus and mineral core is wrapped in flesh and toasty baking spices. There's substance here and a resonant structure, with a bright grapefruit and mineral aftertaste. Best from 2014 through 2024. 120 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
