Score 93/100 · Drink 1997-2027, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jun 2023
A notable success in a vintage that's generally something of a washout, the 1987 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru exhibits aromas of buttery pastry, mandarin oil, lime zest, beeswax, sweet stone fruits and nougat, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and an impressively persistent, saline finish. Harvest took place October 3-10, in the rain, after a hot, thundery September.
