What the domaine has here is tiny even by their standards — a fifth of a hectare, worked organically, on well-drained clay and limestone with excellent exposure. Mark O'Connell bought the old Boillot estate in Volnay in 2010 and spent the following decade adding parcels across the Côte de Beaune, reaching the Corton hill along the way; his wife, the story goes, eventually told him to stop buying grand cru. 2016 was the frost year, which cut yields severely across the region and left what remained unusually concentrated.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• A climat that rivals Clos du Roi for the finest red on the Corton hill\u003cbr\u003e\n• A fifth of a hectare of forty-five-year-old vines, organically farmed\u003cbr\u003e\n• Grand cru from a domaine producing roughly 1,500 cases across its whole range\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Strongly flavoured meats, but equally roast chicken or poached salmon\u003cbr\u003e\n• Grilled vegetables, and sauces with chanterelles or ceps\u003cbr\u003e\n• Morbier, Bucheron, Cantal and Saint-Marcellin\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Collectors who want Côte de Beaune grand cru with genuine cellaring life\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who like Corton's firmness carried by grace rather than bulk\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not ideal if you want something soft and immediately open\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Clos de la Chapelle","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 7 bottles","offer_id":48081872289844,"sku":"COL-CLOS.CHAPELLE-Bressandes-16-7PK","price":1095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48211463471156,"sku":"COL-CLOS.CHAPELLE-Bressandes-16","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/domaine-clos-de-la-chapelle-corton-bressandes-grand-cru-burgundy-france_8c96aefe-a0bc-4fa3-8561-762ca8f05493.png?v=1786906655","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/domaine-clos-de-la-chapelle-corton-bressandes-grand-cru-2016-burgundy-france","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
