Remoissenet's 1992s all reveal ripe fruit, higher acidity than most white burgundies (remember, the malolactic was blocked), and laudable purity. The finest wine in the 1992 portfolio is the Corton-Charlemagne-Diamond Jubilee. The complex orange, mineral, smoky, buttery, apple aromas, are combined with full body, superb concentration, and crisp acidity. It should be at its best between 1996-2007. Remoissenet enjoys a well-deserved reputation for his white wines. There is a tendency at this estate to block the malolactic, keep the wines off their lees, rack them frequently, and bottle them after a relatively vigorous filtration. The fact that so much remains in the wines makes one wonder what they would be like if they were not manipulated so much?

Remoissenet produces more interesting and individualistic white burgundies than he does red. I did not taste his entire range of 1989s, but this selection must be among his best efforts in this superb vintage. The 1989 Corton-Charlemagne-Diamond Jubilee is the most backward of the Corton-Charlemagnes I tasted - typifying the ageworthy Remoissenet style of white burgundy. Although there is no doubting its weight or richness, it will stand up to a considerable amount of cellaring. I would not pull the cork on a bottle for at least 4-5 years; it should have 20-25 years of longevity. It is a white burgundy for those with a great deal of patience, as well as a cool cellar.
