Corton Charlemagne GC 2021 - AGNES PAQUET

The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from Domaine Agnès Paquet is a striking expression of this iconic limestone terroir. From a cool, low-yielding vintage, the wine shows a pale, silver-tinged hue and a refined nose of citrus zest, pear, white flowers, and a flinty mineral edge. On the palate, it is precise and vibrant, with a taut, linear attack that broadens into a textured, saline mid-palate. Notes of lemon confit and fresh almond linger on a long, chalky finish. The oak is subtle and well-integrated, adding depth without overshadowing the wine’s purity. Built for aging, this grand cru will evolve gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years, revealing layers of wax, white truffle, and honeyed complexity.
