This is also very ripe with aromas of plum, cassis, earth and wet stone that continue onto the rich, velvety and palate enveloping big-bodied flavors that are utterly delicious yet entirely serious, all wrapped in a very firm and lengthy finish. This has so much dry extract that it will actually be approachable young but should age magnificently well if desired. 92 points, Alan Meadows the Burghound (May 2011)
The 2009 Corton-Bressandes is a huge, meaty wine. There is plenty of richness and intensity; in fact at times the fruit shows elements of over ripeness. The finish turns more sensual, but the Bressandes remains a touch rustic. This could use a little more energy and polish. This is one of the first parcels Drouhin converted to biodynamic farming. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2023. 91 Points, The Wine Advocate (2011)
