Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is very composed with clear delineation on the nose. It is tightly coiled initially, then finds its feet and blossoms with lemon thyme, orange pith and subtle hazelnut scents. The palate is well balanced with a silver bead of acidity. Precise and tensile, I appreciate the energy and sorbet-like freshness of this Grand Cru, leaving a dab of lemongrass on the aftertaste. This feels very assured and, in banal terms, very delicious – far better than its performance from barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2044
