Chandon de Briailles Corton BLANC Grand Cru

Corton whites cannot carry the name of the specific vineyards on the label, as is the case with the red grand cru wines of the hill next to the word Corton. This wine comes from three different parts of the hill within the Corton Les Bressandes, Corton Chaumes and Corton Renardes vineyards. The wine was spontaneously fermented in barriques, demi-muids and 10hl oak tanks and matured for a total of 15-18 months with lees. Intense mineral but with enough fat and richness for ideal balance, with very nice fleshy fruit and an acidity that keeps everything under control. This gives the wine length on the palate and the fruit travels on a long stunning finish. We expect nothing less than a decade on the back that will take the complexity levels up a notch.
