Note di degustazione
18/20 for the 2000 vintage tasted in 2002! Mid, slightly dull amber. Oxidised nose and then lots of acidity on the palate. Finishes quite dry. Lots going on there. Not dead. It’s really just the nose that disappoints. And it’s a bit short. This would make a great sauce! Calling Noble Rot … (who famously use oxidised white burgundy in their sauces). (JR)

Clair's spectacular Corton-Charlemagne, from a tiny one-third hectare parcel, is redolent with intense white flower and anise aromas. It possesses an awesome concentration of ripe and layered pears, bananas, honeysuckle, and buttered toast in its medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured and beautifully-focused personality. It should be at its best between 2002-2010. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
