2020 Corton, Bressandes, Grand Cru, Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine, Burgundy

Description

From .77 ha holding planted in 1953.

A more subtle application of wood can be found on the spicier and slightly more elegant nose of both red and dark currant, violet and more discreet earth nuances. The supple and seductively textured flavowurs possess equally good size and weight though with the intrinsic refinement of a classic Bressandes, all wrapped in a dusty, built-to-age and powerful finish. Lovely stuff and note that while clearly firm, it's not so structured that it couldn't be approached after 5ish years of cellaring.

Drink from 2032 onward

14.2% alcoholThis has been racked. Noticeably deeper and more youthful in colour than the Corton Perrières, a powerful purple. The fruit is full of energy, high octane perhaps but not burning. Indeed, this is very good on the palate, with the rich deep raspberry fruit covering the structure and extending well at the finish.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (October 2021)

The 2020 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has quite a stony, mineral-driven bouquet that requires more coaxing than the Corton-Perrières. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, and lightly spiced with a harmonious finish that fans out beautifully. This is quite a sensual wine but I suspect it may well close up and warrant long-term cellaring.Drink 2026 - 2036Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (December 2021)
