A firm, ripe, smoky wine, from the vineyard surrounding the spectacular château of Corton. Dark, brooding and rich tannins. Big-hearted and powerful, this wine will age well over many years, giving a dense mouthful of fine, juicy fruit. Imported by Opici Import Company.

A big and dense wine, packed with tannins and black, chocolate flavors. The fruit is huge and generous, while the wood and herbal flavors give complexity. This is a wine to age. Imported by Opici Import Company.

This vineyard has 30-year-old vines, which typically yield densely flavored wines. With the 2003 vintage, this density has been supplemented by great perfumes, and ripe, black fruit. Should develop well. Imported by Opici Import Company.

This wine balances tannins with full, red fruit flavors. Its dry tannins suggest that this wine could remain firm and solid rather than plush. But its perfumes are typically Pinot. An enticing and structured package over all. Imported by Opici Import Company.

A softly perfumed wine that has fresh, clean fruit, a lovely silky texture and just a touch of tannin. Will be ready to drink within two years. Imported by Opici Import Company.

A fresh style of wine that seems to miss the portentous weight of a Corton-Charlemagne. It is pleasant and fresh, with some toast, but is really all about green apples and a light feel. Imported by Opici Import Company.
