Revealing a healthy green-hued color, the rich, ripe, dense and butter-scented Corton-Charlemagne is a first-rate offering. Intensely deep and concentrated, this wine possesses a highly-focused, and velvety-textured full body replete with flavors of chalk and buttered lemons. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2007.
