Corton Grand Cru Red 2021 | Wine from Domaine Chapuis Frères

Corton Grand Cru Red 2021 from Domaine Chapuis Frères

Brothers Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis, who come from a family line rooted in Burgundy viticulture, launched the "Chapuis Frères" estate in 2009 in Pommard. With 4 hectares of vines and purchases of often organic grapes, their range includes Savigny les Beaune, Chorey les Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. Following the success, they moved to Ladoix, adopting a low-intervention approach, favouring indigenous yeasts and limiting the use of sulphur and oak barrels. The wines, harvested by hand, are distinguished by their aromatic freshness and their immediate drinkability, reflecting the Burgundian terroir.

Domaine Chapuis Frères's 2021 Corton Grand Cru Rouge embodies the excellence of the range, developed by Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis, young, dynamic winemakers who have inherited a long family tradition. This wine, meticulously vinified by Romain Chapuis, pleasantly surprises wine lovers, thwarting the usual expectations associated with Corton Grand Cru. The ageing in oak barrels, 20% of which are new, and the use of whole harvests give an aromatic freshness and a remarkable finesse of tannins. Already very accessible, this 2021 vintage seduces with its notes of peony, strawberry coulis, raspberry, blackberry, kirsch cherry, blond tobacco and cocoa. On the palate, a surprising delicacy and finesse, far from the standards expected for a Corton. Enjoy now or store for up to 10 years for added aromatic complexity.
