The 2021 Pierre-Olivier Garcia Corton Baie par Baie Grand Cru hails from a challenging yet rewarding vintage in Burgundy, marked by severe spring frosts that led to one of the smallest harvests in recent memory.

This particular Grand Cru benefits from Pierre-Olivier Garcia's meticulous 'Baie par Baie' vinification technique, where individual berries are hand-selected to ensure whole, undamaged fruit, resulting in wines with enhanced aromatic complexity and delicate floral notes. Expect a fresh and pleasant bouquet of redcurrant and grapefruit, complemented by earthy undertones and hints of black tea and bergamot. The palate is elegant with velvety, polished tannins and an airy finish, offering juicy red fruit, hawthorn, and a touch of graphite. 【Pierre-Olivier Garcia's unique 'Baie par Baie' vinification technique, enhancing aromatic complexity and delicate floral notes.】 This elegant Corton Grand Cru pairs beautifully with rich, savoury dishes.
