This was open at the same time as the 05 Bourée St.Jacques, it’s not as dense or as concentrated but it is a polished grand cru all the same.
2005 Mischief and Mayhem, Corton Bressandes
A deep cherry-red core. Fine, high-toned red fruits and some dried cranberry – very nice indeed. There’s plenty of background tannin but it has fine grain. Good acidity that pushes a creamy depth of fruit very long. This is a very executive Corton and dare I say it, elegant! Not the concentration of many 2005 grand crus, but so what? Lovely wine and a very nice length.
