This is also attractively floral in character with its array of violet, lavender and rose petal nuances on the softly spicy black cherry liqueur scents. Once again, the medium weight flavors possess a really lovely texture that tightens up on the dusty, firm and serious finale that is slightly better-balanced. Lovely and worth your consideration.

A pink-purple tinge to the colour at the edges. Darker purple in the middle. Quite a sumptuous bouquet of super ripe fruit. Three tanks, one of which has been vinified with whole bunches. Dense succulent dark fruit but nothing cooked. Firm tannins right at the back, but easily enough fruit to cover them. In the sunny style of 2020 yet in balance – but you will need to wait.

Winemaker Notes

This 1.27-hectare plot (3 acres) is located in the middle of the slope with a south-easterly exposure. Its soil enjoys a good balance of limestone, loams and clay.The plot may be named for a previous owner – a 13th-century canon, Johannis Bressand. The Aloxe-Corton Les Bressandes Climat is thought to have belonged to three elderly spinsters originally from Bresse.In the mouth, these very subtle wines present a dense, bold body and beautiful silkiness.
