Tasting notes
The Corton Bressandes Grand Cru offers a velvety substance (vine peach, red fruits) with ample charm, punctuated with smoky notes and sandalwood and enlivened by a fine minerality which stretches the finish. It is a combination of power and delicacy in a dense structure with notes of black fruits. Airy and bouquety, it draws its richness from a first-rate clay-limestone substrate. It is a wine of great finesse and beautiful structure.
