Corton Charlemagne is indeed a wine made for longer life, at least if
it is to show everything it has. 2002 is a very strong vintage and
Bonneau du Martray is a good producer for whom the Corton Charlie is
the specialty. The BdM often seems to be more forward than other
producers, sometimes with primary fruit more in the tropical range. As
a result, the wines can be a little easier to drink young than others
from the same appellation. However, if you don't hold at least one of
your bottles, you are going to miss the fullness of what one of the
great vineyards of the world can offer.

In any case, enjoy,
