Wonderfully ripe, deep aromas of lime, minerals and crushed stone. An incredible mouthful of stones and minerals, with uncanny intensity, juiciness and lift. At this point in my marathon tasting with Boillot, my handwriting was degenerating and I was using exclamation marks rather than adjectives. Flat-out great white Burgundy. Incidentally, Boillot changed his supplier of Corton-Charlemagne as of this vintage; he now works with vines in Aloxe-Corton that face full south. Score: 98 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 September 2007 |

Pure, highly nuanced nose combines lemon, mint, crushed stone and nutmeg. Chewy but uncompromisingly dry, with penetrating flavors of crystallized lemon peel and rocks. Seems to expand on the back half, and finishes with great length and lift. This has a solid 4.3 grams of acidity. Score: 93 - 96 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 July 2006 |
