Wine information
The Grand Cru site "»Les Bressandes" is located exactly in the middle of the Corton hill below Clos du Roi and Les Renardes. The 1.12 hectares are divided into four plots and the soil is characterized by bajocium and Oxford limestone with pebbles, clay and a high iron content.
In 2014, François de Nicolay had to deal with hail again after the devastating 2013 hail, however, with much less. Instead, the cherry vinegar fly came, similar as in German vineyards, and caused crop failures. Yet, despite the adversities, the 2014 vintage turned out to be a beautiful, fruit-driven vintage. The Corton-Bressandes comes from vines averaging 35 years old, was picked between September 18 and 26, and meticulously sorted out. The wine was fermented with a proportion of 40 to 50 % whole grapes.
