Full-bodied and robust yet at the same time ethereal and nearly weightless, this is the essence of fine Burgundy. Lemony with white flowers and brioche aromas, followed by palate-coating opulence and supported by framing acidity.
With maturity this is capable of matching the most refined and subtle cuisine. Particularly ideal with shellfish yet equally perfect with chicken in lemon-butter or ripe cheeses and almonds.
Vinous
- v92-94
The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an appealing bouquet with yellow plum, hazelnut and light almond scents, seeming to gain delineation in the glass. The palate is well balanced with orange pith and a dab of sour lemon. Displaying moderate depth, it becomes more malic towards the finish. It would benefit from a touch more complexity, but it should age well in bottle.

A beautiful expression of the vintage that delivers with precision. Concentrated lemongrass, flint and stone grow in the glass while the palate gently reveals additional complexity. Bright acidity highlights layers of umami and brown mushrooms followed by acacia honey, honeysuckle and firm limestone minerality. Enjoyable now or hold through 2028 before revisiting.
