  • Goedhuis, December 2022

    This is a fascinating white wine coming from two plots, one in Corton Bressandes and the other in Corton Chaumes below Charlemagne. Unusually, these plots were planted with Chardonnay, due to a lack of Pinot Noir at the nursery back in the 1970s when they came to replanting it. And so a star was born… Hazelnut and caramelised fruit aromas, the palate is more floral, white fruits, peach and apricot. Superb volume and a lovely long creamy finish.

  • Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 91-93

    A blend of Corton-Bressandes and Corton Chaumes, the 2021 Corton Blanc Grand Cru has an endearing bouquet with white peach, dried pineapple (which usually disappears after racing) and touches of Mirabelle. The palate is balanced with fine acidity, citrus lemon mixed with Clementine and peach and light white pepper notes on the finish. Lovely. Drink 2024-2035.

Producer

Domaine Chandon de Briailles

The sibling team at this stunning domaine (Francois and Claude de Nicolay) is most definitely a winning one. Their biggest influence has been to convert the estate firstly to organic and now to biodynamic methods of viticulture and vinification. The wines focus on sensual flavours and refinement, these are not powerful, but the aged vines allow for wines of extraordinary texture and complexity.

Region

Corton

The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
