2024, Domaine Tollot-Beaut, CORTON, Grand Cru, 'Bressandes'The 2024 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has an aromatic bouquet with bunches of red roses infusing the plush red berry fruit, perhaps the most exotic and charming among Tollot Beaut's cuves, though the straight Corton has marginally more delineation. The palate is medium bodied with pliant tannins. This is struck through with bright acidity and feels fluid and tensile on the finish. Maybe the 2023 has a bit more panache but this is still a very well

From barrel

Intense and very focused

but that could also be simply a reflection of the barrel sample

Last year EP $252

The bouquet bides its time in the glass

long and ripe with lovely mineral touches

Quite linear on the tobacco-infused finish

There is both better density and a finer mouthfeel to the detailed medium-bodied flavors that are noticeably firmer on the slightly long and more complex finale
