The Genot-Boulanger Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2021 is a brilliant expression of one of Burgundy’s most renowned white wine vineyards. Nestled in the hill of Corton, this Grand Cru is celebrated for producing Chardonnay of exceptional power, precision, and longevity. Genot-Boulanger, a family-run domaine committed to biodynamic viticulture, brings meticulous care to every stage of production, allowing the unique characteristics of this storied terroir to shine. The 2021 vintage, shaped by cooler weather, resulted in wines of vibrant acidity, crystalline clarity, and elegant restraint.

In the glass, the wine reveals a captivating aromatic profile of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, interwoven with floral hints of acacia and chamomile. Subtle layers of hazelnut, wet stone, and a touch of flinty reduction add complexity and depth. On the palate, it is both powerful and precise, with a seamless integration of bright acidity, a creamy texture, and a profound mineral backbone. The finish is long and resonant, leaving an impression of salinity and citrus-driven purity.

This wine is a perfect companion to dishes such as lobster thermidor, seared scallops, or a classic roast chicken with lemon and herbs. While approachable now for its vibrant fruit and energy, the Genot-Boulanger Corton-Charlemagne 2021 will benefit greatly from 8–15 years of cellaring, evolving into an even more complex and layered expression. It is a testament to both the grandeur of Corton-Charlemagne and the dedication of Genot-Boulanger to crafting wines of exceptional precision and authenticity.
