"The Corton Les Bressandes is an astonishingly rich wine with sensational depth and length, a huge bouquet of raspberry fruit, toasty new oak, and flowery scents. It has outstanding balance and seems to explode on the palate because of its concentration. It comes from an old 1.3-acre vineyard with many of the vines planted in 1920. Do not miss it!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Corton is the Cote de Beaune's principal red Grand Cru, spanning the Corton hill across Aloxe-Corton and neighbors, producing powerful, tannic and structured Pinot Noir reds needing time to soften and unfold.
