Scoring 18+ points out of the Dionysian scale of 20, the 1999 Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne white Burgundy was nearly perfect. With 13.5% alcohol and costing under $55, the 27 year-old white Burgundy had peaked.
Coming from a great producer, the wine was buttery, with medium weight, and had apple and limestone notes.
The wine married well with port tenderloin. This white comes from the village of Aloxe-Corton in the Cote de Beaune, and is one only six Grand Cur whites! I shared an earlier bottle of this with Dionysians Vince and Susie Winterling two years ago, and all agreed it was sublime. In vino veritas.
