Cool, reserved and incredibly pure green apple, citrus, floral and white pear notes blend seamlessly into concentrated mineral-driven flavors that deliver the hallmark delineation, power and breathtaking persistence of a classically styled Corton-Charlemagne where the only possible reproach is a hint of warmth. This monument is extremely impressive and destined for a long life, indeed it has only just entered the front end of its prime drinkability. Consistent notes, indeed I've never had a poor bottle; note that my scores have ranged from 95 to 97 points.

The 2000 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is drinking beautifully today, offering up aromas of fresh peach, oatmeal, brioche, vanilla pod and a subtle top note of toasted sesame. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, pure and quite structurally open-knit, with an ample core of succulent, expressive fruit, juicy acids and a pure, bright finish. While 2000 is never going to rank as a historic vintage of Coche’s Corton-Charlemagne, it has the considerable merit of being fully mature and utterly delicious, and it surely ranks among the two or three white Burgundies of the vintage.
