The Corton-Bressandes Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) stands out in the heart of the prestigious Burgundy region in France. Renowned for its elegant and complex red wines, this appellation is part of the grand crus of the Corton hill, one of the few Burgundy hills producing both red and white grand cru wines. Wines from Corton-Bressandes, primarily crafted from Pinot Noir, are distinguished by their deep colour, alluring aromas of ripe red fruits, violet, and undergrowth. Over time, these wines develop sophisticated notes of truffle and spices.
The limestone and clay soils of this appellation provide a refined tannic structure and exceptional length on the palate. Ideal for collectors of pure and elegant wines, this region is essential for any serious wine enthusiast. With well-thought-out wine cellar management, Corton-Bressandes grands crus reveal their full potential after several years of ageing.
