An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Corton Grand Cru 'Les Bressandes'
Flagship climat of Corton Grand Cru at the heart of the hill (Côte de Beaune), south-east facing mid-slope. 100% Pinot Noir producing some of Corton's most elegant wines — deep ruby, fine and refined nose of black fruits and cherry evolving to woody and undergrowth notes at maturity. Structured palate with firm but ripe, silky, and round tannins, signature elegance-personality. Deep soils of balanced limestone-clay over draining pebbles forcing roots deep, aging 15-25 years.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Anthocyanins
Phenolic compounds present in the skin of grapes that give colour to red wines during maceration.
