Tasting notes
The 2021 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a generous bouquet with high-toned red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, like its fellow Corton, evincing joie-de-vivre . The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, more flesh and density here with lip-smacking sapidity in the short but effective finish. Very fine.

The 2021 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of plums, spices, orange zest and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's broad and textural, with an enveloping core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, saline finish. This is an especially supple, giving, front-loaded Bressandes that will show well young.
