Rated 92 by Burghound
89-92 A very ripe, indeed slightly jammy, combination reveals plenty of floral elements on the liqueur-like aromas of roasted plum, black cherry and a hint of game. There is fine volume to the delicious middle weight plus flavors that possess a caressing mid-palate that once again contrasts significantly with the powerful, firm, warm and serious finish that is also somewhat grippy though not really short.
Winery
Corton Bressandes Grand Cru offers a velvety substance (vine peach, red fruits) with ample charm, punctuated by smoky notes and sandalwood and enlivened by a fine minerality that stretches the finish. It is a combination of power and delicacy in a dense frame on notes of black fruits. Airy and aromatic, it draws its richness from a first-rate clay-limestone substrate. It is a wine of great finesse and beautiful structure.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Region: Burgundy

In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.
