91 By Robert Parker
Leroy's 1990 Corton-Charlemagne, is an oaky, bold, dramatic wine, with huge quantities of fruit, glycerin, and what appears to be tannin. Long, dense, and ripe, this wine needs at least 10 years of cellaring; it should keep for 25 years.
Some remarkable 1991 white burgundies were produced by Lalou Bize-Leroy. Yields averaged only 9 hectoliters per hectare in her Chardonnay vineyards and alcohol levels averaged 13.5%. These wines will be the longest-lived whites of the 1991 vintage. Although none of the 1990s are as concentrated as the 1991s, they are still fine wines.
