2020 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru Cote de Beaune, France
$259.99
This cuvée comes from four parcels which total 1.12 hectare, situated mid-slope and spread in homogenous fashion over the whole appellation, giving a nice typicity of Bressandes. The soils are deep and made up in equal parts of limestone and clay, giving the wine lovely balance and great length on the palate. It is a terroir that is very representative of the appellation Corton. The vines average 40 years-old and face east. Fermented with 100% whole clusters and aged in barrel for 18 months, with a very modest 15% new oak.
