Corton Bressandes

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Corton Bressandes

Yet again there is a floral dimension to the aromas, perhaps a little licorice too – I love the aromatic complexity. Round, supple and full flavoured. Friendly but not facile Corton.

The nose is soft and shows some smoky stems, it keeps changing, showing some lovely red berries. Full, very round with good structure to underpin it – indeed the acidity is quite in the background.

Medium, medium pale colour. Red, slightly cooked fruit. This is lithe and quite intense. Relatively in the background structure – today it says ‘wait!’

More typically Corton – indeed from the heart of Corton. The nose has a deeper, sweeter red note that slowly adds a floral dimension. Fresh and with a more apparent structure – long flavours that hold strongly. Sweet and red, but not artificially so – very nice.

2001 Chandon de Briailles Corton Bressandes

Wide, fresh red fruit that’s coupled to hints of leaves with deeper, baked red fruits. Very smooth across the tongue, there’s still plenty of tannin but it’s oh-so silky. Still rather linear, but the flavour holds very well into the finish – still, it’s very approacheable.

2008 Château Corton-Andre Corton Bressandes

Deep, dark and slightly oaky aromas. Ripe, with a sweet width of fruit. Very muscular with a grainy tannin. The flavour extends very well into a good length finish.

2008 Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton Bressandes

By billn on April 15, 2010

A good width of mainly dark fruit aromas that are coupled to faint herbs. Even after the Vercots we have a clear extra level of power and mid-palate dimension. The tannin is slightly grainy, though okay. Lots of energy here. Good wine.

1978 Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton Bressandes

There’s a width of sweet, comforting fruit. In the mouth it is just as compelling as the Clos de Vougeot that preceded it; muscular, tight and tannic with the flavour of gorgeous warm, browned fruits that linger beautifully. Superb.

If any thing the colour is yet younger. The nose is sweeter, still with plenty of fruit – a little roasted. In the mouth it’s clearly more sweetly red fruited than the Pommard, minimal tannin and has a lovely balance. The finish is a good one. I would say this is just about ready – and it’s also very tasty!
