Corton Grand Cru - Bressandes 2014

Burghound - 91-93

An attractively fresh, ripe and elegant nose speaks of red and dark pinot fruit that evidences plenty of floral and earth influences that are trimmed in evident wood. There is a fine sense of detail and plenty of underlying tension to the lightly mineral laden medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a balanced if moderately austere finish that delivers fine depth and length. The stem tannins resulting from the whole cluster vinification are presently prominent so this is a wine that will need at least a few years of cellaring to round them off.
