Domaine Ponsot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2021
Origin
Country: France
Region and Appellation: Burgundy Aloxe Corton
Product Description
Domaine Ponsot’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2021 is a captivating white Burgundy that defies convention. Sourced from a unique plot once planted with Aligoté (up to 50%), this wine offers an unorthodox yet mesmerizing profile—blending Corton-Charlemagne’s classic power with unexpected floral delicacy and vibrant acidity.
Key Features:
Terroir-Driven Uniqueness: Grown on limestone-clay soils in the heart of Corton-Charlemagne, this wine balances ripe citrus (lime, candied apple), honeyed apricot, and toasted spice with a flinty minerality and bright acidity.
Winemaking Precision: Fermented in neutral oak with minimal intervention, showcasing Ponsot’s commitment to purity and terroir transparency.
Complex & Layered: Aromas of pineapple, almond, cinnamon, and caramel evolve into a creamy, umami-rich palate with a dense, textured mouthfeel.
Age-Worthy Elegance: While approachable now, its structured acidity suggests 10-15 years of evolution (2030-2045+).
Why This Wine Stands Out:
Unlike traditional oak-heavy Corton-Charlemagne, Ponsot’s rendition is lighter on its feet—offering floral lift, tart apple freshness, and a slightly oxidative honeyed depth (a signature of its Aligoté heritage). Perfect for collectors seeking Burgundy whites with personality.
