About This Wine
Philippe Pacalet's Corton-Charlemagne 2021 is a grand cru white from old vines on the Pernand-Vergelesses side of the Corton hill. It is a restrained, saline wine from a year that hit Chardonnay hard.
Corton-Charlemagne wraps around the upper slopes of the Corton hill, and much of it faces south-west or west, which is unusual on the Côte.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Lemon zest, white flowers and wet stone, with a hint of hazelnut.
- Palate: Taut and precise, with citrus, chalky minerality and a saline edge.
- Finish: Long and focused, finishing salty and fresh.
Serving & Food
Pair it with steamed scallops in black bean sauce, turbot in beurre blanc, or poulet de Bresse with cream and morels.
Good to Know
Where is the parcel? Old vines at mid-slope on the Pernand side.
What's the style? Floral, with a firm mineral core.
