Corton Gd Cru - Bressandes 2018

Domaine Chandon de Briailles, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, is a historic estate in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine cultivates prestigious terroirs in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and on the Corton hill, with an approach focused on allowing each individual parcel to express its natural character. Its wines are distinguished by their finesse, precision and ability to reveal the nuances of Burgundy’s great terroirs.

The Corton Grand Cru Les Bressandes comes from four parcels covering a total of 1.4535 hectares, spread from north to south across the Les Bressandes climat in the heart of the Corton hill. Facing the Saône plain and benefiting from the rising sun without the influence of a valley opening, the vineyard offers a remarkable balance of iron-rich clay and limestone. The estate farms the vineyard biodynamically and works the soils with its Comtois horses. Vinification generally takes place with whole bunches, without pumps or added sulphites, followed by 15 to 18 months of ageing, mainly in seasoned barrels.

Appearance: Deep, luminous ruby red with garnet and purple highlights.

Nose: Complex and refined aromas of black cherry, raspberry and wild berries, complemented by violet, delicate spices and subtle earthy and mineral nuances.

Palate: Deep and structured, with generous texture and remarkable elegance. The fruit is intense and precise, supported by fine tannins and beautiful mineral tension. Power and finesse are perfectly balanced, leading to a long, fresh and persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Ideal with beef fillet, rack of lamb, roast pigeon, duck breast, game or mature cheeses.
