Savigny Lès Beaune, Côte De Beaune

Bouchard Père et Fils

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 1996

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark golden in color with a brownish hue.

Light nose and very dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, apples, spices, light over ripen citrus fruits, earth, light wood, herbs, light vegetables and white pepper.

Short finish with limes and bitter herbs.

This 28 year old is a little past its prime, but still drinkable and interesting.

I had higher expectations, but at this age, it really depends on the individual bottle. That said, I still enjoyed it.

Needed 30 minutes to open up properly.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$250.

The balance of mineral undertone with pops of apricot was $$. Would have let it breathe a bit longer but can’t complain overly — 2 years ago

Popped my #domaineroulot cherry. Incredibly well made with beautiful floral notes and great complexity for a #meursault #aoc wine. There was great underlying power and tension which will make this wine very special in a few years #burgundy #chardonnay — 10 years ago
