Tasting notes
The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a clean, crisp, almost clinical bouquet of red cherries and wild strawberry, bright and perky; the oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, yet there is good depth and an attractive underlying pepperiness. It fans out gently toward the finish, retaining admirable balance and delineation. Give it just two or three more years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Mid crimson. A little riper and richer on the nose than the Beaune Clos du Roi. Immensely attractive on the palate, irresistible and I could almost drink this now. Intense fruit purity, smooth, polished texture and long fresh finish. Perfect harmony. Pure pleasure. (JH)
The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, matured in 50% new oak, has an elegant, floral, seductive bouquet of pure raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents, along with touches of clove and wild heather in the background. The palate has more energy and tension than the Corton Grand Cru and shows impressive precision and length toward the lightly spiced finish. Excellent.
