Corton-Bressandes, Grand Cru, 2023
Fine dark fruits with a creamy structure. What muscle it has is gentle and covered by a richness of fruit and a fine base of gourmand tannins. A well-mannered Bressandes with good energy, a fine acid line and a mix of deeper earthy fruit and raspberry highlights. Lots to enjoy here.?From two parcels which, combined, equal just one hectare, with the oldest vines planted in the 1950s. Nathalie’s Bressandes tends to yield refined wines of great finesse.
critic reviews
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.
