Firm reduction renders the nose tough to evaluate though there is both fine freshness and verve to the impressively dense yet well detailed larger-bodied flavors that terminate in a clean dry and strikingly long finish that is already displaying outstanding depth. This is potentially a knockout as it is seriously good though I underscore that at least moderate patience will be necessary. (Drink starting 2033)
bhCropped at a mere eight hectoliters per hectare after being hit by the April frosts and then challenged by severe disease pressure the 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has nevertheless turned out beautifully offering up aromas of tangerine oil crisp stone fruit clear honey white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied fleshy and textural with terrific depth at the core tangy acids and a precise saline finish it will only gain with further élevage. Published: Jan 31 2023
