The Corton-Charlemagne from Génot-Boulanger is a triumph in 2021. The wine has lovely aromas of ripe apple and pear along with acacia flowers spice and mineral notes. The palate has impressive concentration and enough freshness to balance the considerable extract. The wine is produced from a parcel of 0.29 ha in Le Charlemagne; the grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters before fermentation and ageing for a year in cask (less than 30% new) and another six months in tank?marvelous wine.
jmJasper Morris: 92-95 Points
A yield of 12 hl/ha now racked from 1.5 barrels. A little fuller in colour still with a green tint. Considerable volume is evident on the nose with also an immediate flamboyance. Summer flowers and lemon curd. Good solid weight minerals behind not quite the effortless persistence of a great vintage. Drink from 2027-2032.
