| - | * **Corton–Charlemagne** (Oct. 2018 – ): 2 btls not oxidized. Surprisingly pale straw color for a 12 year old wine. Pinpoint bouquet of orchard fruits & smokey citrus. Richer on the palate than most white Burgundies (especially for a Corton Charlemagne), but the superb acidity structure & mineral balance keeps the refreshment coming. From a lot of 3 purchased from a reputable West Coast retailer's auction platform in Aug. 2014. [Rayner Cheung] | + | * **Corton–Charlemagne** (Oct. 2018 – Mar. 2020): 3 btls not oxidized.
