Vinified without any destemming, Croix's 2021 Corton Grand Cru La Vigne Au Saint exhibits aromas of cherries and red berries mingled with peonies and spices, without any of the feared herbaceous qualities that led so many to destem comprehensively in this vintage. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and an expansive finish, it's a success.
