1999 Coche-Dury Corton Charlemagne


1 July 2010: A glorious drop. A beautiful light golden colour. A wine of immense concentration, complexity, distinct minerality, piercing acidity and much youthful vigour. Layers of lemon curd, lemon confit, lanolin, honey, grilled almonds, marzipan, honey and toast. The character of the wine changed completely after 2 hours of opening….would have benefitted from decanting, showing much more roundedness and integration. Great length. Drinking well now, but will evolve over next 6 - 8 years. 19.5/20
