The estate and the wine
Wine From an 80-year-old, one-hectare mid-slope vineyard, the 2017 red Corton Bressandes Grand Cru delivers the quintessence of refinement. The whole harvest gives it an incomparable velvety texture, with notes of precious woods, sandalwood, smoke and spices, as well as fresh fruit and red berries. A perfect blend of power and delicacy, this grand cru is a model pinot noir with immense potential. A high degree of elegance, rated 96/100 by the Comité.
Vinification Harvested by hand, vinified in whole, sorted bunches for 3 weeks without added sulfites and with twice-daily punching of the cap, alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts without artificial temperature control, malolactic fermentation and ageing on lees in "reduced" rooms without racking, with stirring without added sulfites, for 16 months in barrels.
