Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut
2010 Corton Bressandes
Good for cellaring. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir, grown on the east side of Corton Hill, is intense in both color and flavor, with a stout yet harmonious body. Although best aged for 8-10 years, we find it more approachable when young than the Hautes Mourottes. For a ready-to-drink version, we recommend the 2002 vintage.
Beautiful, elegant, and expressive. Gorgeous cherry and exotic spice scents on the nose (anise). Bright fruit shows on the mid-palate and there’s a delicious dollop of spicy cherry on the finish. Open this bottle for a California Pinot lover—it showcases rich fruit and good balance.
Food pairing: Duck
Floral on the nose, with dusty, powdery aromas and background truffle notes. Concentrated strawberry jam and sweet spice flavors with violet notes. Chewy, fleshy. Medium body. Offers a core of pure, expressive fruit and precise structure. Moderately long finish, but seems slightly closed now. A wine to try again in 2017.
Food pairing: game, pot roast
