Product details
The Domaine Follin-Arbelet Corton Bressandes Grand Cru 2020 is a masterful expression of one of Burgundy’s most prized vineyards. Sourced from vines planted between 1955 and 1960, this wine is a true reflection of Franck Follin-Arbelet’s dedication to tradition, terroir, and sustainability. The grapes are hand-harvested, meticulously sorted, and 100% de-stemmed before undergoing natural fermentation in open-top wooden vats with indigenous yeasts. Following gentle pressing and gravity-led racking into oak barrels deep within the domaine’s historic cellars, the wine enjoys a slow, patient élevage. Unfined and unfiltered, this Grand Cru speaks softly yet powerfully, with finesse and elegance at its core.
From the heart of the Corton hill, the 'Bressandes' vineyard’s ideal southeast exposure contributes to the wine’s balance of structure and depth. The palate reveals layers of bright red fruit, subtle minerality, and stony freshness, all framed by a refined texture and age-worthy complexity. Franck’s meticulous craftsmanship and understanding of terroir shine through in every sip, capturing the harmony of power and precision that this top-tier site delivers. With its ability to age gracefully, this Corton Bressandes is a cellar-worthy treasure, embodying the timeless class of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or.
