The 2007 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru really blossomed in the decanter, shaking off a touch of reduction to reveal a stunning bouquet of citrus oil—lime, lemon—mingled with oyster shell, white flowers, green pear, nutmeg and wheat toast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and tight-knit, with a rock-solid core, incisive acids and a long, searingly mineral finish. As usual, this is structured more like a red wine than a white. What's more, it's one of the white wines of the vintage in 2007.
