Domaine Jean Baptiste Boudier Corton Les Renardes Grand Cru 2021
Domaine Jean Baptiste Boudier was formerly known as Boudier Pere & Fils.
Domaine Jean Baptiste Boudier's 2021 Corton Les Renardes Grand Cru is a profound Pinot Noir from the eastern slope of Corton's hill in Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France, practicing organic methods on thin brown clay-limestone over solid limestone.
Tasting Profile
Deep ruby hue with aromas of bright cherry, raspberry, dark berry, undergrowth, musk, sweet spices, and rose petal perfume. The palate balances power and delicacy with good tension, ample structure, complexity, and refined length.
Key Traits
-
Body: Full yet elegant, with chalky minerality, pure fruit, and velvety texture.
-
Aging: Long-lived with time on its side; pairs with roast lamb, game, or truffle dishes.
-
Terroir: Tiny frost-affected plot adjacent to Clos du Roy yields energetic, slow-evolving depth from just three barrels of one-year oak.
