Domaine Chandon de Brailles Corton-Bressandes 2009 is a mature Bugundy red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Corton-Bressandes in the village of Aloxe-Corton in the Côte de Beaune. This cuvee is produced from four relatively homogeneous mid-slope parcels of Pinot Noir, offering excellent Bressandes typicity, where fruit concentration is combined with great balance and length. "This is also very ripe but here the cassis, violet and black berry aromas are noticeably fresher. The rich, intense and broad-shouldered flavours display a distinct mineral character and better elegance to the dense but fine tannins that shape the hugely long finish. This has the potential to be outstanding but it will require the better part of two decades to arrive at its peak." Burghound, 2011

(80% vendange entier): Good dark red. Dark, brooding aromas of cherry pit, botanical herbs, smoke and earth. Deep, energetic and penetrating, offering a beautiful combination of volume and focus. This very tactile wine boasts vibrant, highly perfumed flavors of black fruits, pepper and spices and finishes uncompromisingly dry, with firm tannins and superb cut and lift. Showed a riper aroma of strawberry jam after 24 hours in the recorked bottle without any loss of freshness. I'd lay this beauty down for at least six to eight years. — Stephen Tanzer, 1st March 2012

The 2012 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru does not quite match up to the delightful 2012 Pernand-Vergelesses on the nose, as if cowed by the over-performing premier cru! The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, chalky entry – tart red cherry fruit, strawberry and a dash of spice toward the finish that compensates for the recalcitrant nose. Give this a year or two in bottle to sort itself out. - Neal Martin

Dark, spicy, cherry fruit. Not yet expressive on the nose. Hint of mushrooms. Pretty austere and dry on the finish but obviously much more to come. A little bit severe even at this stage. (JH) — Julia Harding, 10th January 2011
