Corton Bressandes, Grand Cru, 2014

(vinified with one-third whole clusters; the fruit in previous vintages was destemmed but not crushed; aging in 70% new oak): Full, dark red. Aromas of wild dark berries, smoke and game are mellowed by burnished coffee and chocolatey oak tones. Surprisingly sweet and rich on entry, then firms up in the middle palate, showing a solid spine of minerals and tannins. Firm and linear on the persistent finish.
