2021 Corton Grand Cru Les Grandes Lolieres Domaine Henri Felettig

Made by the vinification intégrale manner after pedicel treatment, then aged in a new 150 litre François Frères barrel. A fine fresh medium deep purple. The bouquet is a little more open than Petits Monts, with some pepper alongside concentrated peonies and red berries. Exquisite delicacy, this wine is certainly the more open of the two. Apparently was the other way round a month ago! Hoping the wood doesn’t dominate. Really long intense finish with the highest quality.

(from yields of only 15 hl/ha in 2021). Airy and very fresh aromas are comprised by notes of plum, spice, earth, red and dark pinot fruit and discreet wood. There is fine volume and richness to the sappy and solidly concentrated flavors that display obvious muscle and power on the moderately austere and long finish that displays better depth.

91-93P+: In recent years, this cuvée has tended to be one of the more extreme wines in the cellar, but the 2021 Corton Grand Cru Les Grand Lolières marks a return to more classical proportions, even if it was cropped at a mere 15 hectoliters per hectare. Offering up aromas of red berries, sweet soil tones, petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with good depth at the core and a taut, youthfully structured profile. Of all these 2021s, it's the wine that will require the most patience.
