Lot #118. Joseph Drouhin (Maison) Corton-Charlemagne 1996

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 92 WA.
"Displaying a ripe, rich, and honeysuckle-infused nose, the Corton-Charlemagne has superb depth of sweet white fruit, a distinct minerality, and a medium-to-full-bodied personality. Its racy, extracted, and powerful core is buttressed by structure-giving acidity. Moreover, it exhibits an impressively long and pure finish. It should be consumed between 2003 and 2009. All of Drouhin's whites, with the sole exception of the Montrachet, were bottled between early September and the end of October, 1997." Wine Advocate #115, Feb 1998
Notes: Very lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly damp stained label.
