Offering up aromas of buttered citrus, yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and a deft application of oak, the 2006 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is full-bodied, deep and textural, with a ripe and unctuous core of fruit, lively acids and a long finish. Less tensile and more overtly defined by its élevage than the 2007 tasted alongside, this is similarly drinking very well today.
