Understanding Domaine Chandon de Briailles, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Burgundy
Corton-Charlemagne Blanc is crafted with the utmost respect for the terroir and the vine, embodying the domaine's commitment to biodynamic principles and meticulous winemaking techniques. The specific conditions of the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard, characterised by its exposure and unique soil composition, contribute to the creation of a Chardonnay that is intensely aromatic and structurally complex. The vinification process carefully preserves the grape's inherent qualities, utilising indigenous yeasts for fermentation, lees ageing for textural richness, and 14 to 18 months of oak ageing, which enhances the wine's texture and depth without compromising its natural vibrancy. This Corton-Charlemagne Blanc features ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, and nuanced mineral notes, complemented by a delicate hint of oak. This Grand Cru has the potential to evolve gracefully over decades.
