Vincent Girardin, Corton Charlemagne Blanc Vintage:2000 with orange zest and lemon(from Ladoix fruit). A ripe and vaguely exotic nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of orange peel, green apple, white peach and a whiff of jasmine tea. The dense, muscular and powerful big bodied flavors exude a bracing salinity on the mouth coating, clean and dry finish that is firm and borderline rustic. This will need at least some patience and reward a decade plus of bottle aging.
