Corton-Bressandes, Grand Cru, 2024
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 2024 Corton Grand Cru, which comes from the lieu-dit of Les Combes, has a perfumed nose, more floral and showing a little more complexity than the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. Precise and quite focused, it offers a lovely, quite sensual finish with cranberry and wild strawberry notes that linger in the mouth and a residual black pepper note on the aftertaste. Applause is deserved in the context of the growing season.
