Corton whites cannot carry the name of the specific vineyards on the label, as is the case with the red grand cru wines of the hill next to the word Corton. This wine comes from three different parts of the hill within the Corton Les Bressandes, Corton Chaumes and Corton Renardes vineyards. The wine was spontaneously fermented in barriques, demi-muids and...
The fruit for Les Bressandes comes from four small pieces of the famous vineyard with its combination of clay and limestone. The vines are grown biodynamically and the overall philosophy of the winery is entirely traditional, with little inclination to interfere even with sulphite levels. Vinification is 80% whole bunch, in concrete open tanks and the...
The just four acres of vineyards, about forty-five years old, which are biodynamically cultivated and ploughed with the horse, give an appealing Pinot Noir with exceptional purity in its expression. Elegant in style, a source of fruit expression reminiscent of ripe strawberry and strawberry, along with floral and mineral notes. Although dense on the...

The vineyard is located at the top of the slope facing the iconic Corton hill that stands opposite with its famous grand cru. The clay-limestone soils and the vines, averaging forty years old, are cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic farming. The east-northeast exposure of the vineyard means a slightly cooler mid-climate and a later...
Excellent textures, a true Burgundy with a restrained yet restrained character and a smoky side that goes perfectly with the exuberant fruit reminiscent of ripe pineapple and apple caramelized in butter. Very good concentration, absolute precision and balance, displaying an aggressive mineral dimension that refreshes the full-bodied fruit on the palate....
On the lower part of the slope, on the border with the vineyards of Pernand-Vergelesses, Aux-Fournaux sits on deep soils with clay and limestone, which becomes more pronounced towards the highest point of the vineyard. The combination of this soil with vines that are more than 60 years old gives a fine Pinot Noir, which balances between fresh fruit...
It follows completely traditional winemaking, with 100% whole bunchand aging in old barrels for 12–14 months. This old-fashioned approach accurately highlights the terroir, emphasizing the subtle differences of each vineyard. Delicate and well-shaped, with nerve and substance, it perfectly complements the floral and fruity profile of the wine, which...
Without the depth of Ile de Vergelesses but with an ethereal, elegant, and mineral profile, Les Saucours Savigny-lès-Beaune is another excellent white from Chandon de Briailles. It is fermented with wild yeasts, with no interventions, and the fruit comes from biodynamically farmed vineyards, while sulfur additions are kept to a minimum. An extremely...
