- 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.

This lean and well-delineated white displays pear, citrus, briny mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors, firming up and converging on the vibrant acidity as it plays out on the spicy finish. Best from 2026 through 2033.
