Tasting notes
The Corton Bressandes Grand Cru offers a fleshy texture of vine peach and red fruits (cherries and blackberries). This material is punctuated with smoky notes of sandalwood and rosewood, enlivened by a fresh, savory and saline flavor which lingers on the finish in the mouth. This weave gives it an “old fashion” feel. It’s a classy wine.
