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 14 and 16°C.

Food and wine pairing:

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

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030.

A prestigious name, consistently awarded top honors by critics, Domaine Jacques Prieur stands at the pinnacle of French viticulture. It is also the only estate to own a third of the Grands Crus in Côte-d'Or.

Its success and reputation are inseparable from Nadine Gublin, who has been the estate’s winemaker since 1990. With her unwavering precision and uncompromising approach, she has shaped a signature style of remarkable finesse and depth.

Under the guidance of the Labruyère family, this historic estate in the heart of the Côte de Beaune is experiencing what may be its finest era yet. Renowned for its exceptional terroir and the sheer quality of its wines, it is more than a safe bet—it is an essential reference. Farmed organically since 1997 (currently in the process of certification), its 30 hectares produce grapes of outstanding quality, vinified with masterful expertise. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the precision of execution to the measured approach to barrel aging. Yet beyond technical mastery, the wines also bear the personal, unmistakable imprint of Nadine Gublin.
