Corton-Charlemagne--Vintage 1986
Côte de Beaune, Faiveley
In original wooden case
"Long renowned for their red wines, the firm of Faiveley has made outstanding progress with their whites. This Corton Charlemagne comes from one of the most prized parcels on the top of the hill of Corton, where Faiveley claims the rabbits eat a sizeable portion of his crop. While this wine offered glorious drinking for six months after bottling, it is now tightly knit, with a reticent, but promising nose of minerals, super-ripe oranges and apples. In the mouth, there is admirable body, glycerin, and extraction of fruit, but the crisp acidity has everything buttoned down at the moment. This wine will fully blossom in another 2-3 years; it will easily last for 10-15." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #84 (Dec 1992)
