The Cote de Beaune is more temperate then the Cote de Nuits and is much wider and flatter. The lower plateau has deep soils made up of limestone and clay or shale. This is where the great red appellations are based, such as Pommard and Beaune. To the south of the Cote de Beaune the top white appellations such as Meursault are based on complex soils of limestone and gravel.
Tasting notes: Scents of fresh lime, heliotrope and white peach usher in a subtly-creamy yet persistently bright and juicy display of continued citrus, peach, and inner-mouth floral notes. Airy and elegant, this finishes almost delicately but tenaciously. 93/94 pts RP - WA
Tasting notes: The palate is fat and concentrated showing real complexity and super acidity. The finish is reminiscent of fresh, wild strawberries. This wine will last a very long time - and will be super. (The Burgundy Report 2004)
I was bowled-over by the quality of the 1995 Corton-Charlemagne, it is certainly the finest wine I have tasted from this famous estate. Beguiling aromas of red berries, vanilla, and traces of coconut are followed by a powerful punch of concentrated, extracted, and intense flavors. This gorgeous medium-to-full-bodied wine has a tightly wound "nugget" of red currants, almonds, hazelnuts, pears, and minerals in its silky-textured, extremely well-balanced, and admirably long character. It should be at its peak between 2002 and 2010. Bravo! 93pts RP
