Chandon de Briailles Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Valozieres 2022 exemplifies the pinnacle of Burgundy winemaking. Cultivated in the esteemed Les Valozieres vineyard within the Aloxe-Corton appellation, this Premier Cru Pinot Noir benefits from meticulously managed clay and limestone soils. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a gentle pressing process, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the wine's delicate aromas. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, where it develops its complex structure and refined tannins. Chandon de Briailles, a venerable producer with a legacy of sustainable viticulture, ensures each vintage reflects the unique terroir of Côte de Beaune. The 2022 vintage presents a harmonious bouquet of red berries, subtle spice, and earthy undertones, culminating in a silky, long-lasting finish. Perfect for discerning connoisseurs, this wine embodies elegance and sophistication, making it a distinguished addition to any fine wine collection. |

Burghound (93)Once again there is a sufficient amount of reduction to warrant a thorough aeration. By contrast there is a lovely vibrancy and freshness in the mouth with plenty of sauvage character present on the velvety and caressing big-bodied and muscular flavors that coat the mouth thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also serves to buffer the very firm tannins on the moderately austere, serious and hugely long finish. As good as this is though it's not clear at this very early juncture whether it will ultimately surpass the Bressandes. Still, both possess outstanding development potential and are of first-rate quality. |

Vinous (95)The 2018 Corton Clos-du-Roi Grand Cru was the standout when I assessed the 2018s out of barrel; now, in bottle, I have no reason to alter that view. Displaying spellbinding delineation and clarity on the nose, this articulates the terroir extremely well, offering precise red fruit mixed with crushed rock/flinty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, unerring purity and a silky texture that lingers long in the mouth. Feel that salinity tingling on the tongue after the wine has departed. Pure, unadulterated Pinoté! |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94)(80% vendange entier Bright, deep, saturated red. Sweet, nuanced aromas of redcurrant, cherry, chocolate and smoky minerality, lifted by a floral element. Sweet and creamy but juicy in the mouth; a rather muscular Corton, but with the breadth of the vintage in spades. Really spreads out to saturate the palate on the finish, with plenty of ripe tannins to see it through a decade or two of development. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)Medium red. Deep perfume of black cherry and flowers. Dense, tactile and savory; broader-shouldered than the Marechaudes, showing more soil-driven mineral, crushed stone and moist earth character. Deep and quite dry. Not fleshy today but very imploded. Offers excellent potential. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2016 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is also showing extremely well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, ripe plums, dark chocolate, dried flowers and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a deep, layered core, succulent balancing acids and a long, intense and beautifully soil-driven finish. Cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare, this is an exceptional Bressandes that will be well worth seeking out. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2017 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of dark fruits, nori, licorice, rich soil, blood orange, rose hip and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, its fine-grained tannins largely concealed in a gourmand core of succulent fruit, concluding with a saline, mineral finish. Long on complexity and character, this is a terrific Corton Bressandes. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2019 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is deeper in color compared with the Les Maréchaudes. The well-defined bouquet features cranberry and wild strawberry scents intermixed with wilted rose petal and sous-bois, delicate yet paradoxically intense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, and fleshier than the Maréchaudes; the stem addition here seems more enmeshed. Just beautiful. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, 100% whole bunch, has a detailed nose, a little more backward compared to the Maréchaudes, a touch of silex infusing the quite penetrating red fruit almost sorbet-like with five minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannins. This is supremely well focused, more mineral-driven and tensile with a very long finish. Very impressive. |

Very ripe, tangy, alluring aromas of black raspberry, licorice, spices and black pepper lifted by a delicate floral element. Wonderfully fine-grained, savory and vibrant, with intense berry fruit energized by saline minerality. An elegantly styled Corton grand cru with terrific definition but no shortage of richness.

Vinous (93-95)The 2019 Corton Les Maréchaudes Grand Cru is almost understated on the nose, gradually unfurling with raspberry and wild strawberry scents and touches of brown spice and sandalwood; impressive complexity here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, beautifully knit red berry fruit and a judicious sprinkling of black pepper and clove. Understated but already extremely more-ish on the finish. My advice is to have a second bottle handy! |

Vinous (86-88)The 2019 Pernand-Vergelesses Ile de Vergelesses 1er Cru Blanc has a delightful nose of yellow flower and lemon peel that gently unfolds in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, although I find it missing a little tension and edge toward the finish. Hopefully it will gain this during the remainder of its élevage. |
