Domaine Jacques Prieur - Corton-Bressandes - Grand Cru - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

From an incredible terroir, very precocious, where we never tip into excess because there's a buffering effect from the soil, the 2017 red Corton Grand Cru Bressandes is one of those elite bottles that dreams are made of! It's 73 ares that produce just ten to twelve pieces of a powerful wine infatuated with great strength of character but which, beyond this almost gamey grip, of largesse and emphasis, offers something else altogether: a great, suave, loose perfume, with subtle fruit, an absolutely magical tannic softness, and a finish of insane intensity. It's on another level!

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, vinified in open wooden vats, daily punching of the cap, malolactic fermentation carried out.
Aged in oak barrels for 18 months.

Color:

Bright, intense ruby red.

Nose:

Delicate, red-fruit aromas with floral and rose notes.

Palate:

Virile and concentrated on delicate fruit, this charming wine delivers an intensely wild score through its suavity, delicate tannins and freshness.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Pigeon, game birds, partridge with cabbage embeurrée and smoked bacon.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030.

A prestigious signature acclaimed by critics worldwide, Domaine Jacques Prieur shines in the firmament of French viticulture.


Its success and image are closely linked to that of Nadine Gublin, its appointed winemaker since 1990, and an all-around powerhouse. With her impeccable style and under the aegis of the Labruyère family, this historic estate in the heart of the Côte de Beaune is undoubtedly at its finest level yet. 


Already praised for its range of different terroirs and its high quality, the estate is a must-have for wine aficionados everywhere. Since 1997, the thirty-hectare vineyard has been managed in organic agriculture (currently awaiting certification) and delivers superb wines, all vinified by the hands of a true master. The precision of execution, the perfect maturation, and the aging process combine with Nadine Gublin’s personal style and vision to create the most remarkable wines!
