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