Follin-Arbelet Corton Bressandes Grand Cru 2020
This is a Burgundy Côte de Beaune Red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir. The grapes come from vines planted between 1955 and 1960 in the Corton 'Les Bressandes' vineyard, which has an ideal southeast exposure on the Corton hill.
Sensory notes for the wine often include mentions of bright red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, alongside black fruit notes of blueberry and blackberry. Further complexity comes from 'earthy' notes and forest floor. The palate offers a contrast to some other Corton wines, exhibiting more weight and structure. It is characterized by a firm structure of fine tannins, a refined texture, and a deep core of fruit with succulent acids. The overall style is intense, pure, and deep with stony freshness, framed by a balanced structure. Notes of oak, cedar, and tobacco are also present. The wine is a cellar worthy treasure, offering age worthy complexity and potential to peak in flavor after about a decade. The Domaine practices sustainable farming and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Food Pairing
This powerful and concentrated Grand Cru Pinot Noir is an excellent match for red meats and poultry. Suggested pairings include beef, veal, game (such as deer or venison), and general poultry dishes. A classic pairing like roast duck would also be an excellent choice. The structure of the wine, with its firm tannins and depth, stands up well to richly flavoured dishes. A perfect match to enhance the wine's complexity.
