2011 CORTON CLOS DU ROI Grand Cru Domaine Chandon de Briailles
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
13%
Red
Pinot Noir.
Starts less impressively than the more expressive Bressandes, but picks up. A core of sweetness, delicate concentration without huge body. Lovely tannins on the finish.

2005 CORTON BRESSANDES Grand Cru Domaine Chandon de Briailles
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Red
Pinot Noir.
As always the Bressandes stands out among the Cortons - the Maréchaudes is rather big and blunt by comparison, but this has the usual wild fruit character, a brightly defined wine with cut and class. Quite tannic, with a lively long crisp finish. It will always be expressive.
