The 1989 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is a real success, with this cuvée's customary tension and cut counterbalancing the style of the vintage to terrific effect. Offering up aromas of sweet orchard fruit, beeswax, buttery pastry, nougat and white flowers, it's full-bodied, layered and textural, with a deep, muscular profile and a long, expansive finish. While its fleshy core of ripe fruit offers appealing drinking today, I suspect this is one 1989 that still has upside with additional age in bottle.
