Note di degustazione
To ensure optimum ripeness, the Bouchard team harvested its parcel of Corton-Charlemagne three different times . The grapes, which averaged 13.3% natural alcohol, did not require chaptalization. It reveals a sweet baby powder (talcum) and toasted oak nose as well as an intensely ripe yet beautifully balanced character. Apples, metals, minerals, and flower-like flavors can be found in this serious and tightly wound wine. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2007. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.

Very pale color. Aromatic nose features orange pith, Granny Smith apple, mint and spices. Juicy, minty, intensely flavored and penetrating; adamantly dry and tightly wound but conveys an impression of oily extract. Perfectly integrated ripe acids. Finishes with superb subtle persistence.
