Tollot-Beaut's superb Corton-Charlemagne reveals fabulous ripeness of fruit and buttery oak tones on the nose. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied, highly-focused and balanced wine has all the elegance I've come to expect from this estate's Corton-Charlemagnes. Layers of tangy, ripe, and rich white peaches, pears, minerals and spices remain well-defined for over 30 seconds on its admirable finish. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Importer: Seagram Chateau & Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel (212) 572-7725.
