2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 'Cuvée Spéciale', Patrick Javillier

2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 'Cuvée Spéciale', Patrick Javillier

This is the jewel in the crown of this estate. The vines are on the Aloxe-Corton side of the hill, south-facing, with clay/limestone soil. It sees no new oak (instead, the small volume is vinified in one-year-old barrels), so it has a fresh fruit style. It always has that classic Corton-Charlemagne smoky bacon nose, and a palate of deep and concentrated fruit. Due to the sizeable losses in 2021, Marion has decided to make a special cuvee for this year, leaving the wine to age for longer in barrel before bottling. Each bottle will be individually numbered.
