CORTON BRESSANDES Grand Cru Domaine Chandon de Briailles 2013
The 2013 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, which contains no SO2 and uses a pneumatic press, has a very attractive nose with brambly red fruit, undergrowth and morels. Wild mint emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and brittle tannins. It's fresh and lively but very linear and tight on the finish. What this does have is freshness and a sapid finish. What you call a "vertical" Pinot Noir. Very classy.
LES COUPÉS Blanc de Noirs 'Franc de Pied' 1er Cru Écueil Nicolas Maillart 2015
Certified sustainable (HVE). 100% Pinot Noir from ungrafted, mass-selection vines planted in 1973. Spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels where the wine spends a further nine months on lees. No malo, unfined, unfiltered. Zero dosage. Disgorged September 2021. 3,326 bottles and 161 magnums produced. Stately concentration and muscle. A broad-framed, densely savoury, towering wine. Coffee, caramel, cooked cream and toasted cashews. This is a wine for venison! It’s meaty and glorious. Truffles. Shiitake. And yet there is a shiso-leaf aromatic freshness running through the heart of it. Extraordinary. Out of this world.
