Tasting notes
A slightly more elegant if still deeply pitched nose features aromas of red and dark raspberry, earth, floral nuances and an interesting hint of smoked meat. Consistent with the elegance of the nose the medium-bodied flavors are a bit finer as well though they certainly don’t lack for power, punch and concentration, indeed this is even more firstly structured and the tannic spine makes it indisputably clear that this is going to be a long-distance runner.

The 2015 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has a very opulent bouquet of kirsch, dates and fig, just a faint touch of volatility developing in the glass. The palate is chewy on the entry with firm tannin, tightly wound red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, though the finish feels gritty in the mouth and leaves a slightly dry aftertaste. Again, this is a Corton I would like to revisit once in bottle. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com
