2021 Burgundy Report Highlights - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (1/2023):
“The 2021 whites are much more successful than those produced in Burgundy’s last vintage defined by frost, 2016. In 2016, first-generation grapes spared by the frost were often picked overripe, along with underripe second- and third-generation fruit; lending the wines exotic aromatics and a telltale sweet-and-sour quality on the palate. By contrast, the 2021s are classically proportioned, pure and fine-boned, albeit sometimes a little lean out of the gates. The best analogy is with a cleaner, purer version of the 2013 vintage, (a year sometimes marked by late-season thunderstorms that lent the wines exotic aromatics, something 2021 was spared). Like their red counterparts, the 2021 white wines are picking up texture and flesh with maturation on the lees, and they seem likely to show better from bottle than they did from barrel.”
