🏰 The 2021 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was challenging due to frost, yet it yielded wines of remarkable freshness, precision, and vibrancy where the harvest succeeded. Domaine Chandon de Briailles, a biodynamic estate, crafts this Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru with minimal intervention, notably vinifying it without added sulphites for maximum authenticity. This approach allows for a pure expression of the terroir. The wine presents a luminous ruby red with transparent, violet reflections, typical of a youthful Pinot Noir. On the nose, expect fresh red fruits like raspberry and cherry, delicate floral notes, fine earthy tones, and a hint of spice, alongside dark plum, licorice, and menthol. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, showcasing vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish that is dry and precise. It's an elegant and expressive Corton Grand Cru, powerful yet never heavy, with notes of black fruit, white pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. 【 Vinified without added sulphites for maximum authenticity and a natural expression of terroir 】 🍴 This elegant red 布根地 pairs beautifully with roasted venison loin with wild herbs, Coq au Vin, or duck breast with cherry sauce. It also complements aged Époisses or Comté cheese, game birds, and roast beef. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration for 布根地 enthusiasts, or a quiet evening appreciating a fine Grand Cru.
