Corton, Bressandes, Grand Cru, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Often a powerful cuvee, this is all supple, flowing grace in 2022, with a refined structure, deep fruit and plenty of fine layers to unpick. With a velvety structure and plenty of haunting persistence, this purrs with briary fruit, autumnal leaves and polished rocks. Superb. An excellent east facing plot planted in 1950.

The 2023 Corton Grand Cru was picked on September 8 and 9, the middle of the picking. This has a fine bouquet of redcurrant, wild strawberry and light spicy notes. It is oaky for now but that will be subsumed. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy tannins and fine acidity, as a blend of black cherries and blueberries leads to a lightly spiced, harmonious finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
