Aging White Burgundies

[wondersofwine]

The Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne will improve with aging (maybe consume 10-15 years after vintage). I think I have some of the same Savigny white. White Burgundy, as well as red Burgundy goes through a parabolic aging curve. The whites may be best in the first two or three years after release and then after eight or ten years or more but apparently the exact "closed phase" is hard to predict. I would be tempted to try one or two of the white Burgundies now, but take care to store the Grand Cru properly for a special occasion several years in the future.
