Domaine Chandon de Briailles - Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 2017

Chandon de Briailles wines, as per the purest Burgundian tradition, deliver great freshness and reflect the terroir and 'climat' of origin. Wines without artifice, generous and well-constructed, that gain in complexity through ageing.

This cuvee comes from four parcels situated mid-slope and spread in homogenous fashion over the whole appellation. The soils composition is made up in equal parts of limestone and clay, giving the wine lovely balance and great length on the palate. 

"The 2017 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of dark fruits, nori, licorice, rich soil, blood orange, rose hip and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, its fine-grained tannins largely concealed in a gourmand core of succulent fruit, concluding with a saline, mineral finish. Long on complexity and character, this is a terrific Corton Bressandes." 92-94 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
