Region: Corton Charlemagne, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France  
Varietal: Chardonnay  
Year: 2021  

Winemaker Notes: 

"The family’s few older vines sit at the top of the slope, delivering fruit that is balanced and complex, with a stony, high-altitude edge.   Aromas of light spice, crushed stones, lime and lemon zest. Starts fresh, tangy; with air, more complex and layered flavors of citrus and crushed stones. Long and silky on the finish."  

About the Producer: 

"It’s easy to miss the petite hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, hiding behind bulk of the noble Corton hill. Yet this Côte de Beaune village, with its impeccable vineyards, is a treasure trove of refined Burgundy wines. For more than three generations, the Delarche family has crafted authentic, earthy and expressive Burgundy in Pernand, much under the radar of the Burgundy cognoscenti. Yet Delarche Burgundy offers a clarity and purity of flavor that is captivating; whites are creamy and concentrated, taking a cue from Corton-Charlemagne, while reds are spicy and refined, seductive from the moment they’re bottled yet able to age effortlessly for years." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
