A review by Burghound, dated April 10, 2022, gave this wine a score of 90. The reviewer notes, "Again, this possesses slightly better freshness with its hints of poached, if not stewed, plum, spice and earth." This suggests a complex nose, though not immediately appealing according to the reviewer. However, the palate tells a different story. Burghound highlights "much, much better freshness and energy to the dense and more voluminous bigger-bodied flavors." This indicates a robust and energetic wine with a significant presence on the palate.

The review also mentions a "refreshing salinity on the mildly tangy and more structured finale." This suggests that the wine has a balanced finish with a touch of salinity that adds to its complexity. Despite some initial reservations about the aroma, Burghound seems optimistic about its aging potential, stating, "the freshness on the palate is such that this could well age out successfully."

Overall, the 2020 Domaine Edmond Cornu Corton Bressandes Grand Cru appears to be a well-structured and energetic Pinot Noir with a promising future. While its nose may not be immediately captivating, its palate offers freshness and volume, making it a noteworthy choice for those who appreciate a robust Burgundy.
