Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru from Domaine Jacques Prieur is grown on the slopes of the Corton hill, where stony clay-limestone soils face south-east. This terroir combines power with cool elegance and gives Pinot Noir with distinctive spice. The bouquet offers red and dark berries, rose and peony, fine baking spices, mocha and a touch of liquorice. On the palate the wine is juicy and supple yet firmly structured, with powdery, silky tannins and impressive depth. Vibrant minerality brings freshness and length to the spicy, fruit-driven finish. A versatile Grand Cru for braised dishes, duck or mature hard cheeses.
In Burgundy’s Grand Cru heartland, Prieur is shorthand for a rare mosaic: as Domaine Jacques Prieur in Meursault, the estate has, since 1868, assembled parcels across both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits—from Montrachet to Chambertin and Musigny....
The Great Vertical Tasting: A wine through the mirror of time.
Anyone who compares wine across several vintages discovers its development in a particularly impressive way. A vertical tasting reveals how style, maturity, structure and aromas change over time – and helps to find the right vintage for personal taste or a special occasion.
The grape variety: Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a refined red grape known for red cherry, raspberry, floral notes, spice and silky tannins. It is most famous in Burgundy but thrives in many cool-climate regions.
It pairs beautifully with duck, roast chicken, mushrooms, salmon, pork and game birds. Its fascination lies in finesse, fragrance and the way it expresses origin.
