2009 Faiveley Corton-Charlemagne (750ml)

"96 out of 100 - Served from magnum at Domaine de Chevalier, the 2009 Corton-Charlemagne is in absolutely stunning form. While it does not possess the heart-stopping minerality of say, Coche-Dury, the explosion of aromas on the nose is pulsating ? wet limestone, acacia, white peach and citrus lemon, all with terrific delineation. The palate does not disappoint, with fabulous balance, a real sense of drive, and a crescendo of flavors in the mouth matched by perfectly judged acidity and an extraordinarily long tail. To be frank, this is one of the best Corton-Charlemagnes I have encountered in a long time. Drink now-2025." - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
