Enjoyed on the Brooks winery patio on a warm not-quite summer's eve, the 2005 Dublère Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru followed a lithe Muscadet and oysters. Graced with pretty notes of apple tartin, yellow flowers, lemon curd, graphite, and spice, it's full and round and richly buttery on the palate, with ample intensity and good acidic cut, the finish is both minerally and vibrant. Very nice.

hate to say it, but minerally, flinty, matchsticky, goodness that grabbed my senses and didn't let go even after the bottle made its bittersweet farewell.

Corton can always be a little confounding. Expectations are always high but not all wines are equal to the name. This wine offered much pleasure. Not sure it’s in it for the long haul, but who cares...all were happy on this night.
