Tasting notes
The 2023 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is a blend of four different parcels with different soil profiles. Light but fresh, it has an open and fresh bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and soft briar notes. The palate is well defined and lively, with crisp acidity and gentle grip. There is wonderful purity of fruit, and the stems here impart just the right amount of black pepperiness. If you have a penchant for a more classical style of Burgundy, this is right up your street.

A wine of admirable density and weight, the 2023 Corton Bressandes from Chandon de Briailles boasts ripe mulberry fruit with a hint of black tea and minerals. The texture is dense and firm, and the fresh acidity, firm tannins, and abundant extract carry this to a lingering finish. The grapes come from 1.5ha split between Ladoix and Aloxe; the latter has more stony soil, while the former has more iron-rich clay. This should open in five to seven years and drink well for another 30.
