Chandon de Briailles Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru Red 2006 gift
169.50 €
Tax included
This Corton red Les Bressandes is classified as a Grand Cru. The 2006 vintage offers a very good maturity and a beautiful balance for the Chandon de Briailles estate.This wine expresses its terroir with strength but remains very elegant. On the palate, it has a nice feeling of opulence and roundness. Its finish is very persistent and framed by a fine but very present tannic structure. Undergrowth emerges from its early youth, but it moves towards wilder aromas as it ages.
The Corton has the distinction of being the only red Grand Cru of the Côte de Beaune and it is described by Guy de Maupassant in his novel "Bel-Ami" as "the king of the bon vivants".
Owned by the same family since 1834, the Chandon de Briailles estate now belongs to the Count and Countess Aymard-Claude de Nicolay. Great wines for ageing, a lot of freshness and an entirely biodynamic culture; This is what best characterises this great vineyard.
You can also find all the wines of the 2006 vintage currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée.
