Edmond Cornu & Fils 2014 – Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic, racy, slightly powerful and offers a slight intensity. It reveals  notes of fleshy plum, fleshy wild strawberry and slight notes of a touch of blackberry, racy minerality associated with slight touches of blue fruits, black pepper, spices, a very discreet / imperceptible touch of undergrowth as well as a subtle hint of liquorice and nutmeg. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant, fine, racy, beautifully built and offers tension, straightness, a nice fat, a beautiful structure, gourmandise, a beautiful elegance, a nice grain as well as a beautiful, silky and mineral matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of plum, black cherry, blackberry and small touches of fleshy raspberry associated with a touch of redcurrant, violet as well as slight touches of liquorice / Zan, caramelized oak as well as slight touches of racy minerality and an imperceptible touch of chocolate on the background / finish. Tannins are fine, elegant, structuring and straight. Good length. Very beautiful persistence with touches of ripe fruits, almond, mocha and caramelization. A beautiful wine!
