This is a classic example of Corton-Charlemagne with its impressively layered floral green fruit lime and stone-infused nose that precedes citrusy precise and powerful mineral-driven flavors that possess real muscle on the almost painfully intense and steely finish that delivers striking length. While it's not quite as great as the Montrachet it easily holds its own. A wine to own but note that only the patient will ever see it at its best as this is likely to evolve glacially. - Comments: Don't miss!

Light toasty oak and baking spice accents overlay white peach apple elderflower and stone flavors in this intense yet elegant white. It's the underlying acidity that keeps it all fresh and vibrant driving the flavors to a lingering conclusion. Best from 2013 through 2030. -BS

A bold explosion of flavor starts in the aroma and extends across the palate, with pineapple, juicy pear and something redder, like persimmon, all cool against the sweetness of new oak. The flavor modulation is consistent straight through, while the tension builds in mineral richness. You could decant it now for poulet de Bresse finished in cream. But the wine would be better served ten years from now, when the flavors are more fully developed.
