Lucien Le Moine: Burgundy, France
Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune Red
Corton Bressandes2005 Vintage Reviews
Smells rich with loam and mineral, like the hot sun baking the soil. Then intense berry, red currant, raspberry and star anise flavors saturate the palate with energy and length. Wonderful fresh finish, with ripe, complementary tannins and a berry-laced aftertaste.” 94 Wine Spectator, March 2008
2004 Vintage Reviews
“Still marked by new oak, this red is powerful, with hints of animal, cherry, mineral and spice aromas and flavors. It shows balance overall and needs time to absorb its oak.” 91 Wine Spectator, January 2007
2003 Vintage Reviews
"Good bright red. Knockout nose combines strawberry, crushed stone, minerals and sexy brown spices. Wild and meaty but fresh in the mouth, with dense but sharply delineated flavors of crushed red fruits and stone. Wonderfully chewy, solid, mineral-driven wine. Finishes very long, spicy and sweet, with peppery tannins conveying a strong impression of terroir A great showing." 93(+?) Stephen Tanzer, Mar/Apr 2006
"Rich and round, with earth and herbal accents augmenting the black cherry and plum flavors. The structure comes from the fine-grained tannins interwoven into its fabric." 91 Wine Spectator, May 2006
2001 Vintage Reviews
"Bright, deep red. Clean aromas of red cherry, pungent spices and flowers. Sweet, supple, forward and sexy; a rather elegantly styled Corton that seems ready to drink (and certainly ready for bottling soon)." 89-92 Stephen Tanzer, Mar/Apr 2003
"Bright dark red. Aromas of bitter and roasted cherries, strawberry liqueur, cappuccino, pepper and earth. Dense, juicy and stylish, with strong red berry flavors complicated by mineral and earth notes. Finishes long and strong, with big, broad, palate-dusting tannins and late notes of oaky torrefaction." 89-92 Stephen Tanzer, Mar/Apr 2002
