Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2021
A cleansing savoury Corton Charlemagne imbued with smoky nutty aromas, a hint of flinty reduction and saline and umami notes on the palate. There’s enough flesh to give this a certain gravitas, and real persistence. In 2021 de Montille team took a little more lees than normal to barrel to help nourish the wine. Very good. From behind Pougets, a mid-slope, south, south-east facing vineyard of 35 years old, aged in a mixture of small barriques and larger demi-muid barrels to minimise oak influence.
critic reviews
The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comprises just one-third as much fruit as in 2022 and demanded twice as many treatments. It is just missing a bit of presence on the nose, with hints of white flowers and honeysuckle. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, orange pith and hints of white peach and touches of white tea towards a very elegant finish. Hopefully, the aromatics will awaken by the time of bottling.
