The wine is aged about 11 months in French oak barrels, with around 20–40% new wood, enough to build structure and texture without overwhelming the natural character of the Chardonnay.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"tasting-profile-2021\"\u003eTasting profile (2021)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eDescriptions of the cuvée highlight complex, expressive aromas of ripe citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white and yellow stone fruits, pineapple, white flowers and a cooling minty or herbal lift, all underpinned by chalky minerality.

It pairs especially well with rich dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot or other noble white fish in beurre blanc, roasted poultry with cream or morels, and aged hard cheeses, where its depth and mineral cut can fully express themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Heitz-Lochardet","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (750 ml)","offer_id":45957391614125,"sku":"21-AHETZ-20101RW","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/8829\/8669\/files\/DomaineHeitz_Lochardet_ArmandHeitzCorton_Cha.jpg?v=1777399448","url":"https:\/\/symbolicwines.com\/products\/domaine-heitz-lochardet-armand-heitz-corton-charlemagne-grand-cru-2021","provider":"Symbolic Wines®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
