A bottle of 1996 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Bonneau Du Martray, picked from one of Burgundy's most celebrated hillside vineyards.
'De la Moriniere permitted me to re-visit the 1996 Corton-Charlemagne (rated 92-94 in issue #116). It is a fabulous wine that possesses mouth-watering aromas of almond and hazelnut creams. On the palate, this hugely ripe offering exhibits loads of minerals, nuts, honeyed lemons, butterscotch, and pears. It is medium-to-full-bodied, extremely rich (yet fresh and lively), as well as awesome length. I was surprised to find it so accessible at such an early stage.' 92 Robert Parker Jr - The Wine Advocate, 20 June 1999.
