Domaine Vincent Latour's Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2021 is a distinguished white wine from Burgundy's esteemed Côte de Beaune region, exemplifying the exceptional quality of Chardonnay from this grand cru vineyard. Vineyard and Terroir The Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru vineyard is renowned for its limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure, which contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and complexity. The 2021 vintage faced challenges due to frost, impacting yields but often enhancing concentration in the surviving grapes. Winemaking Process Vincent Latour employs meticulous winemaking techniques, including hand-harvesting and gentle pressing of the Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation and aging typically occur in French oak barrels, with a portion being new, to impart subtle oak nuances while preserving the wine's intrinsic fruit character. Tasting Notes Appearance : Pale gold with green highlights. Aroma : Expressive notes of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of toasted almonds. Palate : Elegant and well-balanced, featuring flavors of lemon zest, ripe pear, and a pronounced minerality, complemented by a lingering, crisp finish. Accolades While specific reviews for the 2021 vintage by Vincent Latour may be limited, the Corton-Charlemagne appellation is highly regarded, with wines from this grand cru often receiving ratings above 90 points from critics. Food Pairing This wine pairs excellently with seafood dishes, such as lobster or scallops, creamy poultry entrees, and a variety of fine cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its depth and elegance. Serving Recommendations For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). Decanting for about 30 minutes before serving can help the wine open up, revealing its full aromatic potential.
