Domaine Didier Meuneveaux
Corton Bressandes Pinot Noir
Aloxe-Corton, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Rating is capped for potential and LOL I am seeing that I rated this a year ago at 93...honestly it’s basically the same juice but I didn’t cap it for potential last time, the wait is real. There is a lot hidden inside of this grand effort. Deep juice, richness, dark berries, not heaviness, energetic, new oak is present and Is helping keep this very young right now. Has the traits of a grand cru on mid volume. Feminine and beautiful. A lot here currently not giving itself up.

Dec 20th, 2020Little more punchy and bouncy compared to the ‘14. Both are actually quite consistent but it feels like the hotter vintage and the 30% new oak in the cellar give this wine some extra energetic bounce that will make for a fun pairing with the ‘14 for many years to come. In a way, opposites, and just a half decade in on them as grand cru. It certainly feels like I’m killing these quite young to find this out but it truly is up to the palette to discern what is here and though it just comes off as pure energy right it really is exciting and fun to drink especially with all kinds of food⚡️⚡️⚡️ Excited to see them as the years go by.

Apr 14th, 2020Elegance and energy. Certainly not ready but also not unfriendly. Ringing finish of intense persistence gives a clue this has plenty of years to go. Deep fruit characteristics are background but present. This is markedly a little softer than the ‘15 at the moment yet still punchy.
