The 1990 Chandon de Briailles Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru hails from a historic family domaine established in 1834, renowned for producing exceptional quality wines that reward aging. This Grand Cru vineyard on the imposing Corton hill is unique as Corton is the only place with red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune. The estate has embraced organic agriculture since the late 1980s and achieved biodynamic certification in 2012. The winemaking involves 80% whole bunch vinification in concrete open tanks, with aging in old barrels. Tasting notes for this Pinot Noir reveal a complex profile with mentions of red fruit (cherry, raspberry, strawberry), earthy notes like forest floor and mushroom, and oaky nuances of tobacco and cedar. Further complexities include licorice, pepper, floral notes such as violet and rose petal, black fruit (plum, black cherry), and savory aging notes of toast and marzipan. The wine offers a lovely sensation of opulence and fullness, a very persistent finish, and a fine yet present tannic structure. Expect beautiful ripe fruit, animal complexity, and earthy notes reminiscent of a forest after rain, with dense, robust tannins balanced by juicy fruit, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish full of nerve and energy. Food pairing suggestions: This elegant Burgundy Grand Cru pairs exquisitely with duck, goose, and other game birds. It would also be a superb match for roasted poultry, delicate mushroom dishes, or a classic coq au vin. Event suggestions: The 1990 Chandon de Briailles Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru is a wine for special occasions, perfect for a connoisseur's dinner, a significant anniversary, or a gathering where a mature, complex, and prestigious Burgundy is the star. 【A rare and age-worthy Grand Cru from a biodynamic pioneer in Corton】.
