The 2019 Corton Grand Cru Blanc reveals aromas of waxy orchard fruit, citrus rind, toasted almond and white flowers. Layered and full-bodied, it's rich and concentrated, with a textural but incisive profile and a long, tangy finish.

The 2018 Corton Grand Cru Blanc mingles aromas of crisp orchard fruit and white flowers with hints of beeswax and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with chalky structuring extract, lively acids and a fleshy core of fruit, this is another of the Chandon de Briailles whites that surpasses its showing from barrel.

Opening with aromas of waxy lemon rind, pasty cream and dried white flowers, the 2017 Corton Grand Cru Blanc is medium-bodied, tensile and tight-knit, with impressive concentration, length and structural integrity despite its ripeness. As usual, the vast majority of this cuvée derives from Corton Bressandes.

The rare 2016 Corton Grand Cru Blanc wafts from the glass with aromas of green apple, yellow orchard fruit, peaches, pastry cream and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and phenolic—structured more like a red wine than a white—with an expansive attack but a taut, chalky finish. Given its format, it could evolve in a very interesting direction in bottle.
