The 1920 Cuvée Charlotte Dumay Corton Grand Cru was an absolutely divine, dare I say heavenly (or heaven-sent) expression of antique Burgundy. The nose is ethereal, light but perfumed with delicate traces of red fruit, wisps of sous-bois and tobacco. The palate is beautifully balanced and pure as the driven nose with "airy" tart red fruit, a keen line of acidity and a poise on the finish nigh impossible to articulate. One of those transcendental vinous moments forever lodged in the memory.
