Domaine Jacques Prieur, Corton Bressandes 2020

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Corton-Bressandes 2020 is a distinguished red Burgundy from one of the most celebrated Grand Cru sites on the Corton hill. Made from Pinot Noir, it combines the elegance associated with the Côte de Beaune with the structure and depth that make Corton wines particularly age-worthy.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby colour, often developing garnet nuances with time. Its bouquet offers ripe red and dark berries, violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes, with refined oak adding complexity rather than dominance. On the palate, the 2020 vintage is generous and concentrated, balancing flavours of blackberry, red plum and cherry with savoury undertones. Well-integrated tannins provide shape, while fresh acidity maintains precision and length. It is enjoyable now with decanting, but should develop further over the next 10–15 years in a good cellar.

Production
Corton-Bressandes is a highly regarded Grand Cru climat on the Corton hill, where limestone-rich soils and excellent exposure help Pinot Noir achieve both ripeness and mineral definition. Grapes are carefully harvested by hand and undergo a traditional red Burgundy vinification, with gentle extraction and maturation in French oak barrels. The exact proportion of new oak may vary by vintage, but the aim is to frame the fruit and terroir while preserving the wine’s natural elegance.

Food & Serving
Serve at 15–17°C after allowing the bottle to settle. A decant of approximately 30–60 minutes can help open the wine in its youth, while mature bottles are best handled gently and decanted only to remove sediment. Its structure and savoury depth pair beautifully with roast duck, beef fillet, veal, game birds, mushroom dishes and softly matured cheeses.
