Bressy-Masson’s top cuvée reflects the heat of the vintage, but it’s kept lively by adequate acidity and a sense of dusty minerality. Spice, plum and dried cherry notes finish long, framed by supple tannins. Drink now through 2013.

One of Rasteau’s leading estates, Domaine Bressy-Masson has turned out a fine 2004, sporting dusty plum aromas and flavors. Add in hints of cocoa powder and cherries, crisp acids and supple tannins, and the result is a well balanced, complex wine. Drink now–2012.
