Corton-Charlemagne--Vintage 2001
Leroy
Tasting note: A tiny number of 2001 white Burgundies displayed the "nugget" of concentration found in the finest 1995s, such is the case of Leroy's Corton-Charlemagne. This stupendous, medium to full-bodied wine explodes from the glass, revealing buttered pears, stones, and spices. On the palate, it exhibits stunning concentration, a layered, velvety-texture, and a pure, intense personality. Its spiced pear, mineral, spice, and honeyed nut flavor profile was accurately described by Mme. Bize-Leroy as being the "essence of Chardonnay." Anticipated maturity: now-2018. 97 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 147 (Jun 2003)
