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
A luscious example of pinot noir with solid red and dark fruit notes and a microcosm of floral, loamy forest floor on the palate. Savour now or 10 years from now.
This negociant Burgundy Pinot Noir is an elegant wine with fresh red fruit balanced by fine tannins. Simply one of the best Pinot Noir wines in the store.
This one sees a touch of oak, but for the most part it's the fruit that's the star. A subdued amount of that earthy quality, underlying scrumptious cherry and red fruit notes.
Recchione's Pinot Noirs are powerful wines from some of the rustic villages at the northern end of the Cote de Nuits. This wine, already with six years of age to it, has smoothed out some of its rough edges and now shows incredible depth and strong tannin for a special dinner.
Jeremy Recchione is a young negociant winemaker in Burgundy working with fruit from all over the region but his cellar is in Gevrey-Chambertin, the village where this wine is grown and raised. For most of his wines only a barrel or two is made every year. This Pinot Noir, from the Creux Brouillard vineyard, is deep and intoxicating with black fruit, spice, and gamey aromas.
