| Tasting notes |
"96 out of 100...The strong note of brioche has been almost completely absorbed and the wonderfully fresh and astonishingly intense, pure and focused green apple fruit is still present and introduces simply unbelievably powerful, gorgeously detailed, big, indeed huge flavors seemingly fashioned straight from crystalline rock. This literally explodes in the mouth as it completely stains the palate and the persistence is flat out incredible. Classy, refined and altogether stunning. A great Corton-Charlemagne that remains so backward that I have delayed my initial drinking estimate by two years. Terrific stuff." - Burghound
"94(+?) out of 100...Very pale color. Steely aromas of lime, apple blossom, crushed stone and mint; has the almost metallic minerality of a top Chablis grand cru. Then dense, penetrating and pure, with palate-saturating flavors of minerals and lemon ice. As young and minerally as this is, it's not especially austere or hard. Finishes smooth, extremely subtle and very long, with lemon and spice notes. My style of Burgundy, very Chablis-like in its penetrating, stony character. Likely to develop in bottle for 15 years or more." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"92 out of 100...Very clean and racy, evoking floral, herbal and mineral aromas and flavors. Dense and coiled like a steel spring, this needs time to open. I like the purity here, without much oak in the way of the terroir. Best from 2006 through 2015." - WS
"(86-87) out of 100...Tightly wound, closed, and crystalline, the 2002 Corton-Charlemagne (domaine) reluctantly reveals notes of minerals and citrus fruits in its delineated personality. This wine will need to flesh out and blossom as it finishes elevage to earn a higher score." - WA
