2015 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Corton Bressandes Grand Cru
Other Reviews....
There is just enough reductive funk in evidence here as well to push what appear to be notably ripe fruit aromas to the background. I very much like the sense of energy to the lustrously textured broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine mid-palate density as well as a subtle minerality that progressively emerges as the long finish sits on the palate. This is very clearly built-to-age yet there is so much supporting extract that it should actually be approachable much younger than my suggested drinking window would indicate. In a word, terrific.

The 2015 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a more ravishing and ripe bouquet than the Clos du Roi: bold black cherries mingling with raspberry coulis and boysenberry jam. It does gain more composure as it mellows in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and focused and not as "heavy" as the Clos du Roi, the finish demonstrating a degree of finesse that the Clos du Roi needs to manifest. This is a well-crafted Corton that should yield a dozen years of drinking pleasure.

Ruby-red. Wild, slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, minerals, leather and game. Fine-grained and quite dry, even a bit stunted in the middle palate in the early going; not at all a blockbuster. But this juicy, primary, youthfully imploded wine boasts terrific energy. The long finish leaves behind a pungent note of tart cherry. This grand cru should be a long ager.
