Bright red cherry and raspberry with peony, rose petal and iron-mineral notes; medium-full, velvety texture, fine-grained tannins and a long, lifted finish.

Vineyard Info
Domaine Chandon de Briailles (de Nicolay siblings) — small, high-quality holdings in Corton worked biodynamically, with some parcels farmed by horse; estate converted from organic to biodynamic practices.
