Rich yet classical in feel, Domaine Chandon de Briailles Corton Bressandes Grand Cru 2018 offers deep red cherry and plum fruit layered with floral perfume, warm earth and a whisper of game and smoke. The palate is full and velvety with impressive mid-palate weight, lively acidity and firm but fine tannins that give a slightly sweet impression today but promise a more complete, harmoniously dry complexity with bottle age.
Duck breast with cherry reduction; Roast lamb with herbs de Provence; Wild mushroom risotto

Domaine Chandon de Briailles’ Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is a powerful, finely structured Pinot Noir from the Bressandes climats on the Corton hill (Aloxe-Corton/Côte d’Or), often grown on iron-rich red clay over limestone and tended biodynamically by the de Nicolay family. The wine typically shows dense dark-berry and plum fruit lifted by rose and peony perfume, smoky/mineral underscoring and firm, chalky tannins from whole-cluster vinification and careful oak ageing, giving it both early intensity and serious long-term ageing potential.
