Again this wine opened beautifully with a fine and fresh light green-yellow colour and an initially strict nose of green apple, white pear, lemon with touches of nutmeg and flowers. The palate is intense with green apple, lemon, pineapple and honey leading to a fine finish of limestone and flint . That touch of spice on the nose becomes evident on the palate as the wine opens out and the pineapple adds an exotic touch. There is real grip and drive here that defines this wine as a classic CC that has stood the test of time.

(Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne) Light yellow color; regal, tart lemon, tart apple, subtle jasmine nose; gorgeous, poised, youthful, tart apple, tart lemon, mineral, light jasmine palate; will go 25 years; long finish (WOTF)
(Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne) Same colour as 2000. The wine shows a blast of fruit on the nose. The steely palate is much more mineral than the 2000 and seems to show an extra length despite less-than piercing acidity. Very drinkable today, in fact it's a bit of a honey.
