This is not a particularly elegant wine, but it is powerful. A bit ripe and while perhaps not the classic archetype for Corton-Charlemagne, it is nonetheless outstanding. Nutty and buttery with bright fruit and and a long finish. I would be happy to drink this all the time.

Recent auction purchase. Still drinkable, but clearly darkened and tired. Impressive concentration, so I am certain this was very good a few years back.

Drank in Bordeaux
Nose of apples, pears, citrus, nuts, smoke and brioche. Amazing complex palate with a long length. Wonderful stuff.
