The 2021 Domaine Buisson-Charles Corton Grand Cru is a proprietary blend red wine from the celebrated Burgundy region in France, specifically the Cote de Beaune appellation. This wine, produced by Domaine Buisson-Charles, is bottled with a cork closure and has an alcohol content of 13.5%.

Renowned for its robust character, this wine is noted for its deep, earthy, and spicy aroma profile, featuring red and dark currant scents. Burghound, a respected wine publication, provides a detailed review of this vintage, scoring it between 90 to 93 points. The review, dated April 10, 2023, describes the wine's structure and potential for aging. According to Burghound, "Here too the oak influence is prominent enough to mention while remaining a background element on the aromas of earthy and spicy red and dark currant."

The wine is characterized by its excellent intensity and appealing texture. Burghound elaborates on the sensory experience, stating, "There is excellent intensity to the racy and appealingly textured bigger-bodied flavors that offer solid depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and bitter pit fruit-inflected finale." This description highlights the wine's complexity and layered flavors, suggesting it is well-crafted with a notable finish.

While the wine is built to age gracefully, Burghound notes that it could be approachable in a shorter time frame: "While certainly built-to-age, this could actually be approached after only 5 to 7 years." This indicates that while the wine has the potential to develop further with extended cellaring, it can also be enjoyed relatively soon for those who prefer to experience its youthful vigor.

Overall, the 2021 Domaine Buisson-Charles Corton Grand Cru is a noteworthy wine from a prestigious region, offering rich, complex flavors and a promising aging potential. Its excellent reviews, particularly from Burghound, underscore its quality and desirability among wine enthusiasts.
