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.
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
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
