Goedhuis, January 2011
The dense black fruit aromas are followed through onto the palate. A very approachable style which will mature slightly ahead of the Bressandes, whilst nevertheless having the density of fruit to produce a wine of great distinction.

Burghound, April 2011, Score: 90-92
An extremely ripe but not over ripe nose speak of roasted fruit and distinct earth aromas that precede rich, full and serious medium weight plus flavors that possess a mocha and liqueur-likefinish that is clearly very well structured. This certainly has the potential to be quite good in time but it lacks the freshness and verve of the Bressandes and Clos du Roi. Drink: 2024+.
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.
