Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2007, Robert Parker, Jun 1999
Girardin's 1997 Corton-Charlemagne displays mineral and rock-infused aromas. It is a well-focused, herbal, spicy, lemony, stony, and opulent wine. This velvety, medium-bodied offering has a long, if somewhat warm (alcoholic) finish. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2007. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel (205) 980-8802.

Lemon, spiced apple and charred oak on the nose. Thick, ripe and chewy in the mouth; good natural acidity and strong extract give this wine firm structure. Dry and classic.
