Chandon de Briailles - Corton Grand Cru 'Les Bressandes' 2016 (750ml) KosherThe 2016 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is also showing extremely well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, ripe plums, dark chocolate, dried flowers and spices. On the palate, it's full bodied, ample and velvety, with a deep, layered core, succulent balancing acids and a long, intense and beautifully soil driven finish. Cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare, this is an exceptional Bressandes that will be well worth seeking out.
