Tasting notes
The 2014 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has a far more generous and giving bouquet than the 2014 Cuvée de Bourdon . It offers lush red cherries and raspberry preserve aromas, dried orange peel, menthol...like a Corton Clos du Roi in some ways. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red berry fruit and cracked black pepper, very saline in the mouth with impressive depth and structure on the finish. It starts closing up in the glass, but I think this will ultimately turn out to be an excellent, delicious and quite cerebral Corton Bressandes.

Mid crimson with real depth. Heady, intense aroma with some savoury red berries and a meat ragù. Sweet attack and lots of minerally stuff going on underneath. Only medium bodied at this stage. Neat, dry finish with lots of ripe tannin. Quite a success. (JR)
