Tasting notes
The 2021 Corton Cuvée du Bourdon is perfumed and floral, quite Vosne-like, with peony and persimmon tincturing the vibrant red berry fruit. Airy in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sappy and just a little New World-like in style thanks to its joie-de-vivre and breeziness. Ponsot's populist cuvée! Less has made something more.

Especially supple and sensual this year, the 2021 Corton Grand Cru Cuvée du Bourdon delivers notes of sweet raspberries and strawberries mingled with orange zest and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, ample and textural, with a fleshy attack, melting tannins and succulent acids, it's a gourmand, charming wine that will offer a broad drinking window.
