Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru
Free Text
2005- vintage of the century: THe weather was just perfect throughout the growing season, which explains why 2005 is an altogether outstanding year.
The red wines are very pure, powerful and concentrated. These are great wines with superb ageing potential, and are well worth waiting for. Patience will be richly rewarded.Grape Variety & Plot size
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir on a 0.73 hectare plot
Terroir

This sun exposure, combined with stony clay-limestone soil, is conducive to early ripening whatever the weather during the growing season.Vinification & Ageing
