Les Bressandes Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Nice but not exciting

A great wine and site that recently came under DRC ownership and now comes with a 10x price tag.

What is now the vineyard for DRC's Corton I believe this is the last vintage under the old ownership.

Quintessential burgundy

1999, great fruit. Baby DRC.

Surprised with the fruit on the nose!

This is why I buy burgundy - wow. So happy to find 6 more w/solid provenance after opening this bottle. PNP and it still outdid the Faiveley with a 3 hour decant. Faiveley was also fantastic.

This needed an hour of air to open revealing a more polished & elegant style of Corton showing dark red fruits, mineral, earth & sweet spices.

What a nose. Not what I expected from a Corton. Floral nose with a touch of wildness to it. Dark cherries and maybe vanilla. Spices... clove and nutmeg. Immediately thought Morey, but the extremely elegant mouth feel and sweetness on the palate made me think Chambolle. Bit of smoke in the end. One of the last few vintages before the plots were sold to DRC.

So yummy
