2023, Domaine Tollot-Beaut, CORTON, Grand Cru, 'Bressandes', Magnum (1500ml)A rich imperial purple with a classy nose, plump red fruit but fine as well. Swells across the palate, growing in comparison to the straight Corton from Les Combes, the fruit absolutely covering the framework which definitely exists. Just a touch of ripe fruit to finish. Very good. **** 92 94 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy. The 2023 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has a well defined bouquet, with neatly integrated 50% new oak and just a touch of

A blend of 48% Cabernet Franc
