Corton Charlemagne, Vincent Girardin 2021

Tasting Notes

From all three sides of the hill and another plot by the cross called “Quintessence”, which was not possible to make separately in 2021. One third came in grapes from Pernand, the rest sourced as must from Aloxe and Ladoix. Bright mid yellow. An interesting complex nose, huge stony intensity in the middle, impressive for this vintage in this appellation, a lick of vanilla behind, with very good length. Needs plenty more elevage. Drink from 2027-2035.
