Domine Chandon de Briailles, Corton Gr& Cru ‘Les Bressandes’ AOC, France

Pinot Noir 

The vineyard is between the villages of Aloxe-Corton & Ladoix. Its red clay soil & southeast-facing slopes on the hill of Corton just at the beginning of Côte de Nuits gives the power of Côte de Nuits with the elegance of Beaune. The soil is dense like bedrock, so the vines need to work hard. 70% stemmed to 30% destemmed. This wine is alive with a lovely balance & great length on the palate, complex with some secondary flavours kicking in, unusual for only two years old. This wine is wonderful yet serious.
