Corton Bressandes Grand Cru

France
Burgundy
2023

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.

"The fruit is dark -- black currant, black cherry and blackberry -- with violet and chalky mineral accents. Aligned with a layer of dense, muscular tannins that dominate the finish for now, yet this red feels built for the medium haul in terms of aging. Offers fine, fruit-staining length."
