Tasting notes
(from a mix of 15-, 25- and 35-year-old vines) Good full red. Aromatically expressive nose combines cherry, redcurrant, smoke, earth and the hint of peach that's often associated with this grand cru. Concentrated, silky and voluptuous; sweet and deep. Still holding a lot in reserve. Finishes very long and subtle, with suave, building tannins.

Deep aromas of candied cherries, plums, and violets are found in the nose of the 2002 Corton Bressandes. Wonderfully dense and concentrated, this beauty coats the taster’s palate with syrupy cherries, coffee, blackberries, and cassis. It is intensely flavored, medium to full-bodied, well-structured, and possesses an immensely long finish. Projected maturity: 2007-2019.

Deep, bright ruby-red. Nuanced nose combines red- and blackcurrant, minerals, game and smoke. Large-scaled, suave wine with strong minerality enlivening the middle palate. At once broad and vibrant. Finishes with very fine, sophisticated tannins and lovely subtle length.
