Tasting notes
With its provocative, earthy, anise nose, the Corton Charlemagne is more floral than the minerally Beaune Clos des Mouches. The most elegant and structured 1995 Corton Charlemagne I tasted, it may lack the sweet explosion of oaky fruit and ostentatiousness one associates with such Cortons as Latour or Coche-Dury, yet it is typified by a refined precision and restraint. Drink it between 1998-2005. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
