Tasting Note
Ripe black cherry and bramble with violet, black pepper and subtle smoke. Stony minerality, bright acid drive, firm yet polished tannins and a long savory finish—powerful yet elegant Grand Cru Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing
Roast lamb, beef short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses; Asian: Peking duck, Korean BBQ (bulgogi), char siu, miso‑glazed salmon.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, biodynamic viticulture; fermented with significant whole-cluster inclusion and indigenous yeasts; aged 14–18 months in French oak (barrel/large foudre).

Vineyard Info
Domaine Chandon de Briailles, founded 1834, run by siblings Claude and François de Nicolay; converted to organic then biodynamic viticulture, producing traditionally styled Corton Grand Crus.
