Estimate
Don't miss! ...This is one big and powerful wine yet once again there is absolutely no trace of heaviness. It's relatively rare to have a Corton-Charlemagne that can rival a first-rate Montrachet but here is one such example.
...a cool, introspective and powerful wine. Layers of bright citrus, mint and crushed rocks fill out the wine’s big, broad-shouldered frame nicely...intense, tight finish...require[s] a measure of patience. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
...aromas of citrus peel, menthol, crushed stone and tarragon accented by ginger and nutmeg. Powerful, tactile and ripe...tightly coiled energy...finishes with firm tannins...should turn out to be among the stars of the 2011 vintage.
Hugely rich and well sculpted. This wine does seem to be of grand cru quality. There is real concentration and structure here.
