DRC Corton-Charlemagne 2021 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Corton-Charlemagne in the Corton appellation of the Côte de Beaune. This marks DRC`s third vintage of this wine, crafted from 2.9 hectares leased from Domaine Bonneau du Martray in 2018. The vineyard consists of four parcels, strategically placed on the Corton hillside – two at the lower part, one in the middle, and one high up. "Pale gold. A refined, notably persistent, peach and tangerine fruit to smell; a seductive nose. This is a moderately concentrated wine for the appellation, fresh and well defined, if without Corton-Charlemagne’s more classic cut, sinew. Rich and gentle, with an easy, equable constitution for the cru—though as you taste, you notice the defining acidity more than on the initial impression. Taut and fine, complex and racy and complete; long across the palate, long and gently resonant to finish. But this 2021 is without the drama and presence, the showstopping grandeur of either of the previous two, initial DRC vintages. A restrained, graceful (not a vocabulary one normally associates with this climat) Corton-Charlemagne, at a mezzopiano dynamic, in keeping with the reds of the year—but with its grand cru class, length, and completeness all thoroughly intact. A lovely wine. Beautiful, biddable, and gracious rather than grand. As if that matters…" Michaeul Schuster, 2021
