FAIVELEY

Corton-Charlemagne Grand cru 2021

Like the Bâtard, generous wood also fights somewhat with the cooler and airier aromas of green apple, pear and a variety of citrus and floral elements. The intense, sleeker and more mineral-inflected flavors don’t possess quite the same richness or power yet flash even better detail on the bone-dry, youthfully austere and clean finish that is shaped by lemon-tinged acidity on the impressively long, complex and compact finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose slowly reappears. Lovely.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
