Beautiful white Burgundy incredibly ripe yet very pure and showing lovely mineral character. Some toasted oak but mostly ripe pear tropical and lime notes. Full-bodied it sings on the palate to a long long juicy and sweet finish. Drink now through 2012. 3200 cases made. (PM)

The 2000 Corton-Charlemagne has an enormously appealing nose of pears and apples. Light to medium-bodied it expands on the palate revealing citrus quartz and mineral flavors. This wine is extremely focused with outstanding grip and a highly delineated character yet it also possesses an impressively vinous trait. It is refined flavorful and beautifully balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.
