Ripe, full-bodied, and complex, it is a French-styled red that should drink well for a decade." Drink now – 2013. This wine is shipped in a silk lined wooden box.

Corton Charlemagne 1995 Bonneau du Martray

This gorgeous medium-to-full-bodied wine has a tightly wound "nugget" of red currants, almonds, hazelnuts, pears, and minerals in its silky-textured, extremely well-balanced, and admirably long character. It should be at its peak between 2002 and 2010." A gorgeous gift. This wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden box at no additional cost.
