Tasting notes
The satin-textured, medium-bodied 2003 Corton-Charlemagne (white) reveals a nose of sage, mint, and minerals. Loads of spice-laden stones and minerals are intermingled with pine resin in its fresh, well-balanced personality. This expressive effort will be at its best if drunk over the next 6 years. One final note: Pierre-Yves Colin (and others) have also found the mint/pine resin characteristics in this small firm’s wines. While these traits are not unappealing, he is baffled as to where they can come from since he acquires fruit from numerous sources and uses barrels that others employ without the same results.
