Minerals and flowers can be found in the aromatics of the 2001 Corton-Charlemagne. Well-done, balanced, focused, and revealing good depth, it has the austerity common in wines from this terroir. Loads of minerals and stones can be detected in its highly detailed, light to medium-bodied character. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2011.
