Score 92/100 · Drink 1998-2005, Pierre Rovani, Apr 1997

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.
