This Chenin from Emeline Calvez has a rich, golden colour and a light honey and chamomile aroma. This is a wine of brilliant acidity and will reward patient cellaring.
From Cabernet Franc grown organically in clay, raised in old oak and cement. The 2018 shows hints of just-snapped pencil lead and damp flowers under a layer of earthy brett. The palate is fresh, with very fine, friendly tannins that allow the black cherry-like fruit to speak. Superb.
Corton is the only Grand Cru red in Beaune. The Chandon 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.
Benchmark Muscadet from one of the region's best producers. Medium bodied and mineral driven, this is one of the best pairings to oysters or sashimi you can find.
