2006 Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (10/22/2009) Not hugely expressive at this time, with aroma of cloves and subtle flavors of lemon peel, green apple, river rock, and roasted nuts. Nicely balanced and delicate now but I suspect a few years in the cellar would be the right call with this wine. Excellent but I wish I had paid retail rather than wine list prices for this wine. (91 pts.)
thanks for taking a hit. I am luke warm when it comes to whites, but this one has intrigued me. Looks like it needs time, but by the time it is ready, it may become oxidized given the trouble the region is having with longevity its modern vintages.

It seems that the problem they had with oxidation in the past is not as bad as in the 90's. I keep my white Burgs in the cellar with confidence. (I hope to tell you that in 10 years )
