2018 | Domaine Chandon de Briailles | Corton-Bressandes

Moderate wood and a touch of menthol can be found on the notably ripe aromas of plum, violet, earth, game and a hint of smoke character. There is excellent richness, volume and mid-palate concentration to the powerful and firmly structured flavors where the finish is long though mildly sweet.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Fleshy and gourmand, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru evokes peonies, rose petals, red berries, cherries and loamy soil. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's sumptuous and enveloping, with an ample core of pure, succulent fruit framed by lively acids and powdery tannins.

• Wine Spectator: A beam of cherry permeates this intense red, its linear frame dense with chalky tannins. Compact now, it will need some time to open and reveal the fruit and its sweet, woodsy spice notes. Shows excellent balance and length.

Producer Information

Domaine Chandon de Briailles is a wine producer in the north of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. The domaine covers 14 hectares (34 acres) of vineyards spread across Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton, and produces mulitple wines from the Corton Grand Cru hill. The domaine has been owned by the de Nicolay family since 1834. Countess Chandon de Briailles, (a relation to the Moët & Chandon family) took over the reins in 1982 and dedicated herself to reviving the status of the domain and its wines. Today, Domaine Chandon de Briailles produces an average of 50,000 bottles of wine per year, and has practiced biodynamic principles since 2005. As is the case for most of Burgundy, the domaine's white wines are produced from Chardonnay and the reds from Pinot Noir. In the winery, as little intervention as possible is used throughout the vinification process with indigenous yeasts used for fermentation. Wine is aged on lees and then carefully racked and bottled with a gravity feed to preserve the phenolic content. On average, wines will spend between 14 to 18 months aging in barrel.
