Big, broad, and expansive, the buttered popcorn-scented 2001 Corton-Charlemagne Cuvee Speciale is a deep, sexy, medium-bodied wine. Its concentrated, rich, lush layers of buttered nuts, spices, and minerals linger on the palate for 30 seconds or more. Projected maturity: now-2010. To Patrick Javillier, 2001 was a classic vintage with normal ripeness levels and problem-free fermentations, “I really don’t see where the problems are ... total acidity was in the 5.5 to 6.0 range and finished pHs were between 3.2 and 3.25, it’s all very classic.”
