Burghound, a respected wine review publication, provided a detailed assessment of this wine on April 10, 2020. Awarding it a score in the range of 90-93 points, Burghound highlighted several key characteristics of this wine. According to the review, "A slightly more generous dash of wood influence can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry, spice, and newly turned earth." This suggests a complex and inviting bouquet with a noticeable but not overpowering presence of oak.

The review further describes the wine's structure, noting that "There is fine delineation to the large-scaled and equally muscular flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the bitter pit fruit-inflected finale." This indicates that the wine has a robust body and a substantial mouthfeel, with flavors that are well-defined and intense. The mention of "bitter pit fruit-inflected finale" hints at a slightly astringent finish that adds to its complexity.

The reviewer also observed that the wine "needs to develop more depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range but it has the time to potentially do so." This suggests that while the wine is currently impressive, it may benefit from additional aging to reach its full potential.

Overall, the 2018 Domaine Edmond Cornu Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is a well-crafted Pinot Noir with a promising future, demonstrating both strength and sophistication. Its excellent review by Burghound underscores its quality and potential for further development.
