Description

2000 Coche-Dury Corton Charlemagne – Burghound – Tasted May 25, 2010: Tasting note: (with thanks to Dr. Michael Chen). Cool, reserved and incredibly pure green apple and white pear notes blend seamlessly with an intense yet understated minerality that leads to positively crystalline and concentrated, dense flavors that deliver the hallmark delineation, power and breathtaking persistence of classically styled Corton-Charlemagne. But this rises to the next level by virtue of unmistakable breed plus a certain vibrancy and presence that is rare even among great wines. Extremely impressive and destined for a long life and while it is easily approachable now, I would personally give in another 2 years in the cellar first. Consistent notes.
