Red dry
This wine reveals itself as a classic expression of Corton Grand Cru. Concentrated fruit character, precise structure, and a mineral backbone typical of the limestone and clay soils of this area. It is produced from the 0.85 ha “Les Bressandes” vineyard parcel owned by Domaine Antonin Guyon in the Aloxe-Corton area.
The aroma reveals notes of black cherries, blackcurrants, and ripe red berries. These are complemented by vanilla, liquorice, and subtle spice tones derived from ageing in oak.
On the palate, the wine reveals a structured character while maintaining an elegant texture. The intensity of the fruit is balanced by very fine tannins and expressive acidity. The flavour profile is dominated by black cherries, dark berries, liquorice, and subtle oak spices. The finish is long, maintaining fruit concentration and a mineral structure.
Corton Bressandes is one of the Corton Grand Cru climats, located in the Aloxe-Corton area – the only location in Côte de Beaune with red Grand Cru status. The vineyards are characterised by clay and limestone soils.
The grapes at Domaine Antonin Guyon are harvested by hand. After careful selection, the grapes are fermented for approximately 20 days in open wooden vats, with cap management (pigeage) and temperature control. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, around 50% of which are new.
Serve at a temperature of 15–17 °C; pairs well with roast pork, beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce, and aged Comté or Époisses cheese.
One of Burgundy's largest family-owned wine estates, managing approximately 50 hectares of vineyards across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The estate was established in the 1960s, when Antonin Guyon began acquiring vineyard parcels in some of Burgundy's most prestigious appellations. Today, the family's holdings extend from Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny in the north to Meursault, Volnay, and Corton in the south, allowing the domaine to produce wines that reflect a wide range of Burgundian terroirs, from regional appellations to Grand Cru vineyards.
Particular attention is given to preserving the identity of each vineyard site. Grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, and all wines are vinified and aged at the estate. Red wines are fermented in wooden vats, while white wines are fermented in oak barrels. The ageing regime, including the proportion of new oak, is tailored to the origin and structure of each wine. Since 2018, Domaine Antonin Guyon has been certified organic, reflecting its long-term commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture.
The philosophy of Domaine Antonin Guyon is centred on expressing the unique character of each vineyard. Working exclusively with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the estate produces a portfolio dominated by Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately, preserving the distinctive identity of its terroir.
Today, the estate's vineyards span some of Burgundy's most renowned villages, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Aloxe-Corton, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Volnay. This geographical diversity enables Domaine Antonin Guyon to showcase the influence of Burgundy's varied soils, topography, and microclimates, offering a comprehensive expression of the Côte d'Or through its wines.
