Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru, J.F. Coche-Dury, 2000

Seller description

Corton-Charlemagne is a Grand Cru appellation for white wines, predominantly Chardonnay, produced across much of the top portion of the oval-shaped Montagne de Corton hill, in the Côte de Beaune district of Burgundy. Classic Corton-Charlemagne is considered to be amongst the finest of Burgundy's whites, and is famous for its combination of fruit flavors (figs and baked pears) and mineral character (flint) – the latter being particularly prevalent in wines from the cooler western slopes. Corton-Charlemagne ranks among the world's more expensive white wines. This 2000 Vintage os one of the best ones, a rare and very desired wine from Burgundy. Kept in refrigerated chamber from a private collection.
