Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2021

The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is one of the world's finest expressions of Chardonnay, hailing from the heart of Burgundy. This wine comes from the eponymous Grand Cru, an appellation located on the Corton hill, a unique terroir that gives the wines extraordinary minerality and unparalleled power. 2021 was a challenging vintage, but it produced wines of great purity, tension, and freshness, destined for a very long evolution.

Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, the wine ages in oak barrels, which help shape its structure without obscuring its varietal expression. On the nose, it presents a complex and refined bouquet of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a deep mineral note of flint. On the palate, its personality fully reveals itself: it is a taut, vibrant, and incredibly precise wine, with a penetrating acidity that enhances its richness and persistence. The finish is extremely long and leaves a lasting impression of great elegance. Given its depth and complexity, it pairs splendidly with rich dishes based on fine fish, such as turbot or sea bass, and with white meats. It is a tasting experience of the highest caliber.
