94 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Harvested among the first Prieur reds on September 2nd, this comes from a 0.73ha parcel in one of the biggest Grands Crus on the hill of Corton. Exotic and floral, it's a very perfumed, alluring Bressandes that has clearly benefited from the hotter growing season, with strawberry and damson fruit, fine tannins and minty, fine-grained finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2032. (Oct 2018)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "Matured with 30% whole bunch and aged in 60% new oak, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit and touches of mint and meat juices, all nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good balance and gentle grip. It turns a little savory toward the finish, and a pinch of white pepper and sage lingers on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted Corton that should age with style. Drink: 2022-2040. (Jan 2020)"
