Decanter Magazine: 96 Points

The Bressandes takes things up a notch, with a fabulous nose of dark fruit, rich soil, fresh mushroom and woodsmoke. The palate is deep and full-bodied with incredible structual amplitude, endowed with the richness of the vintage but also all of Corton's taut, mineral vigour. François de Nicolay mentioned that the wine will receive an extended élevage in barrel, and it certainly has the materials to merit that.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The 2015 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is superb, soaring from the glass with a stunningly complex bouquet of cassis, plums, tar, black truffle, dark chocolate and rich spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, powerful and dramatic, with a lavish, layered attack; a massively deep, concentrated and multidimensional mid-palate; and an ample chassis of fine-grained, velvety tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully chewy finish. This Corton-Bressandes' sheer scale will demand a decade of cellaring, but this wine exemplifies just what was possible on the hill of Corton in the 2015 vintage.

Burghound: 92-95 Points

 A markedly ripe yet elegant nose that consists of rose petal, plum liqueur, lilac, spice and wet stone aromas is trimmed in enough wood to notice. The very rich, intense and wonderfully vibrant big-bodied flavors evidence obvious minerality on the mouth coating and impressively long finish. This is a big and refined effort that is very much built-to-age so patience required.

Vinous: 92 Points

(bottled in June of 2017): Healthy bright ruby-red. Blacker and tighter on the nose than the Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières, conveying a hint of torrefaction. Quite youthfully imploded and backward, with its medicinal kirsch and dark chocolate flavors showing terrific depth of texture but little early sweetness. Today this very dense wine is dominated by its huge toothdusting tannins. It doesn't offer the fruit element of the 2016 in the early going and will require serious cellaring.
