Domaine Jacques Prieur, Corton Bressandes 2022

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Corton-Bressandes 2022 is a distinguished red Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most renowned Grand Cru vineyards. Made from Pinot Noir, it combines the power and longevity associated with Corton with the refined, graceful character often found in the Bressandes climat. The 2022 vintage brings ripe fruit, impressive concentration and excellent balance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby colour with garnet highlights. Its aromatic profile opens with ripe red and black berries—think cherry, raspberry and blackberry—alongside violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy nuances. With air, the bouquet may develop further layers of tobacco, forest floor and well-integrated oak. The palate is structured yet polished, offering concentrated fruit, lively acidity and firm but refined tannins. Notes of dark cherry, plum, baking spice and mineral freshness persist through a long, savoury finish. While approachable with decanting, this Grand Cru has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 10–20 years, gaining complexity and softness with bottle age.

Production
Corton-Bressandes lies on the celebrated Corton hill in the northern Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and favourable south- to southeast-facing slopes help Pinot Noir achieve both depth and freshness. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested at optimum ripeness before undergoing precise vinification designed to preserve the vineyard’s character. Maturation in French oak adds texture and spice while allowing the wine’s fruit, mineral expression and tannic framework to develop in harmony.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 30–60 minutes when enjoying the wine young, particularly alongside a rich meal; older bottles are best handled gently and may only need a short period in the decanter, if any. Its structure and savoury depth make it an excellent match for roast or braised beef, venison, duck, game birds, truffle dishes and mature cheeses such as Époisses or Comté.
