Let’s use these threads as discussions on each Burgundy Village. Discuss the characteristics of the village, the characteristics of specific vineyards, producers, and so on. Or please list the producers for each of the Burgundy villages and share the expertise you have on their styles. Or just use these threads to post tasting notes on specific wines you have drunk from this village and other people can use it as a reference.

Tonight I went to a Chandon de Briailles tasting and had the ‘13 Corton Blanc and ‘15 Corton Bressandes and Clos de Roi (along with much of the rest of their lineup). The Clos de Roi was the clear class of the group, with a penetrating perfume. The Corton Blanc was quite lovely and textured, although lower in acid than what I typically look for in White Burg.
More generally, Jadot’s Pougets is probably my favorite Corton (not including Corton Charlie).
My guess is extremely well, but just a guess. After listening to Levi Dalton’s interview with Erwan, I realized there are actually three phases of Faiveley’s wines and I have only had them from the latter two. I think a lot of the great old Faiveleys that people speak of are from Erwan’s grandfather who apparently did not make the wines in the super backward style of the 80’s and 90’s.
