Chandon de Briailles Les Marechaudes Corton Grand Cru 2022

An exceptionally floral-suffused nose is both cool and elegant with its array of red berries, spice and soft earth scents. There is a highly attractive sense of underlying tension suffusing the detailed medium-bodied flavors that are notably more sophisticated thanks to the firm but fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a balanced, lightly austere and built-to-age finale. While this will age effortlessly, it should also be approachable after only 5-ish or so years. Drink date: 2034+. Score – 93. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, April 10, 2024)
