All 8 hectoliters of the 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is maturing in one foudre. This has a light nose of apple blossom, Mirabelle and white peach, hints of camomile, focused if needing a bit more energy. The palate is well balanced with a citric, orange rind entry with pretty apricot notes towards its unassuming finish.

A low key lemon and lime colour. Clean fresh and classic on the nose. A very typical fresh stony palate, lightly washed in citrus, with enough flesh to provide the body necessary for ageing, and a fine, long, persistently mineral finish. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: November 2022
