Tasting notes
Remoissenet's 1992s all reveal ripe fruit, higher acidity than most white burgundies (remember, the malolactic was blocked), and laudable purity. The finest wine in the 1992 portfolio is the Corton-Charlemagne-Diamond Jubilee. The complex orange, mineral, smoky, buttery, apple aromas, are combined with full body, superb concentration, and crisp acidity. It should be at its best between 1996-2007. Remoissenet enjoys a well-deserved reputation for his white wines. There is a tendency at this estate to block the malolactic, keep the wines off their lees, rack them frequently, and bottle them after a relatively vigorous filtration. The fact that so much remains in the wines makes one wonder what they would be like if they were not manipulated so much? Importer: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA and Stacole, Inc., Boca Raton, FL.
