Corton Gd Cru 2018

In the ownership of the same family since 1834, the Domaine Chandon de Briailles currently belongs to the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay and their children.

Situated four kilometres north of Beaune in Côte d'Or, the domain is in the northern area of the Côte de Beaune in the famous Burgundian vineyard.

Its surface extends over 13.7 hectares (34 acres) shared equally amongst the three villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.

The particularity of this white Corton is to be planted in Chardonnay on ground normally destined for Pinot Noir.

An unusual Chardonnay coming mainly from Pinot Noir soils, so quite full, evoking yellow fruits (peach, apricot) and a touch of honey. No new oak, nor lees-stirring, so very elegant and fresh on the finish.
