Corton is the only Grand Cru red in Beaune. The Domaine de Briailles' parcels are situated on the coveted mid-slope of the famed Corton hill. The wine is complex, textured, long. A treasure.
"One of the best domaines in all of Burgundy." - Dominic Lafon
"...for my money, these are among the small handful of wines that realize the true potential of the hill of Corton." - William Kelley
The quintessential "unicorn wine"; we're lucky to have it. The wines are complex, long, ethereal. An added attraction is the elegant label, made from cotten, linen, and hemp, handwritten and hand-drawn, into which wildflowers have been pressed.
High-altitude Pinot Noir in the cooler hills above Saint-Aubin made with strictly free run juice for a pale colour and a light extraction. This elegant expression of Pinot is perfect with grilled fish and lighter fare.
This stunningly beautiful natural Pinot Noir is lovingly crafted by legendary Bourgogne vigneron Pierre Fenals from a minuscule plot of less than 0,5 hectares on rocky white soils with marlstone and sandstone in the parcel of Les Clos Roussots. Grapes are grown biodynamically and worked in the cellar with nothing added or taken away; after an elevage of 18 months in used barrels, the wine is bottled with no fining, filtration or added SO2. Supple, dynamic and focused with dark apple berries, underwood spices, baked plum and fine aromatic herbs.
La Sauvage is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Chatenière 1er Cru vineyard that is right above the winery. This intense Chardonnay with notes of hazelnut, apricot, and brioche, has its acidity softened by a carbonic maceration fermentation.
Shadows is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Combe 1er Cru vineyard that is well shaded by forest. Wild, low-yielding old vines make an intense and rich Chardonnay.
