Liqueur-like aromas of dark berries, earth, spice and plenty of floral and lavender nuances introduce powerful and quite punchy larger-scaled flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts with the muscular and youthfully austere finish that is also quite firmly structured. This is an excellent Bressandes and worthy of your interest provided that you can allow it at least a few years of keeping.

(no frost here; this site was picked after the Chambertin in 2016, on October 3 and 4, with potential alcohol of 12% and a yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, dark red-ruby. Brisk aromas of black cherry and licorice accented by black pepper and pungent minerality. The sappy flavors of small wild red berries and spices are quite primary but with its suavity and sweetness this young wine already shows considerable early appeal. This distinctly airy Corton grand cru finishes with firm but fully ripe tannins and lovely lingering spiciness. My style of Burgundy.
