Description

My last bottle of this wine, bought from a reputable merchant over 20 years ago and stored since then at the bottom of a dark cellar. The bottle on sale is the one in the photographs. The level is very good for its age and the colour looks decent. The front label has some slight marking, a nock and a small amount of mild discolouration. The back label is as shown, likely due to damp in the cellar.

A couple of reviews:

Pierre-Antoine Rovani, Wine Advocate (128), April 2000

"Unlike his colleagues in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, de la Moriniere did not have any frost or hail damage (and only traces of oidium) in 1998. However, the famed Corton hill, on which is located Corton-Charlemagne, was not spared nature's wrath. The searing sun and heat of August burnt a significant percentage of the grapes, so de la Moriniere was compelled "to sort like crazy".

While he wishes he could have harvested earlier, my impression is that his 1998 Corton-Charlemagne benefitted from the extra hang time by gaining richness, breadth, opulence, and riper acidities. Its delightful tropical fruit (pineapple and passion fruit) and spiced apple aromas lead to its velvety-textured, medium-bodied personality.

This is a harmonious 1998, without any of the angular acid and tart aspects that typify so many of this difficult vintage's efforts. Its long seamless finish, and dense, fruit-packed character are outstanding"…..91points.

Wine Spectator

"Vibrant. Clean and lively, with lovely midpalate concentration, this medium- to full-bodied white Burgundy is straight as an arrow. Fabulous balance of subtle toasted oak and ripe fruit. An ager." 93 points.
