"The 2013 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is a blend of young and old vines (11 barrels, half of them new) and, fortunately, was not affected by hail. It's a fragrant wine, with a rather floral bouquet that shows more purity than some of the other crus. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and good acidity, and the new wood is very well integrated into the finish. Very good." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2016 guide) 17.5/20 + Coup de Coeur (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (High-quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)
About the domain :
Édouard Labruyère's enthusiasm and determination to position this estate as one of the world's great vintages is clear to see. His efforts are evident in the vineyard, which has been organically farmed since 1997, in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have made their appearance since 2012, and, crucially, in the glass. With its exceptional range of Grands Crus from 22 hectares of vineyards, including 17 hectares in Côte de Beaune and an exclusive representation of Grands Crus in Côte de Nuits, this estate has all the attributes to join the elite of Burgundy estates.
