Description
The Jacques Prieur Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is a 100% Pinot Noir on a plot of 0.73 hectares. Located on the hill where the Grands Crus of Corton are located. The vineyards facing south-east and the slight slope ensure perfect ripening. This exposure to the sun, combined with the stony clay-limestone soil, is conducive to early ripening, regardless of the weather during the growing season. The grapes were picked by hand and placed in small crates, then sorted and completely destemmed. The wine remained on the skins for 21 days in open oak barrels with temperature control. Pigeage (pressing the cap) was done twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation and complete maturation in oak barrels.
After a very mild winter and a warm spring in the second half of April, bud break was early, but the frost with high humidity at the end of the month destroyed the plots with the best exposure. After the frost, the vine developed slowly. Acceleration in growth and ripeness of the grapes was possible thanks to a very warm and dry summer, with ripening starting quickly towards mid-August. The harvest started on September 20 and the sanitary conditions of the vineyard were perfect.

The 2016 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru is still quite youthfully reticent, unwinding in the glass to reveal a rich bouquet of ripe cherries, cassis and blood orange that's complemented by enticing carnal hints of grilled and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a succulent but gourmand core of fruit that entirely cloaks its broad-shouldered chassis of powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a long, nicely defined finish. There's sufficient extract here, so this Bressandes may well shut down; a decade's patience is advised.

From: Red Burgundy '16 & '15: Superb Vintages, Different Styles (Jan 2018)
(no frost here; this site was picked after the Chambertin in 2016, on October 3 and 4, with potential alcohol of 12% and a yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, dark red-ruby. Brisk aromas of black cherry and licorice accented by black pepper and pungent minerality. The sappy flavors of small wild red berries and spices are quite primary but with its suavity and sweetness this young wine already shows considerable early appeal. This distinctly airy Corton grand cru finishes with firm but fully ripe tannins and lovely lingering spiciness. My style of Burgundy.

Winemaker Nadine Gublin described 2015 as “a very classic vintage of fresh wines from a late harvest, more red fruits than black in character.” The estate started its harvest with Pinot Noir on September 20, with grape sugars between 11.5% and 12.5%, and Gublin chaptalized lightly “for the texture of the wines” (they will be bottled with alcohol levels between 12.5% and 12.8%). Yields ranged widely according to the effects of frost, with estate-wide production down about 50% from a normal year. Gublin carried out less extraction than usual in ’16, punching down the cap twice a day but only for the first four or five days of the fermentations. “Some people will compare 2016 to 2010,” said Gublin, “but I find the ‘16s more consistent, with more matière sèche. And the '16s have much less tartaric acidity than the 2015s but similar pHs.” The malolactic fermentations finished between April and July of last year and all of the ‘16s were still on their lees in barrel, unracked, when I sampled them in January.
As for the ‘15s, “the tartaric acidity keeps the wines easily digestible and builds the structure of the vintage,” according to Gublin. “Although there’s a lot of dry material in the wines, and a high skin-to-juice ratio, 2015 doesn’t act like a hot year.” But alcohol levels for the estate wines are between 13.5% and 14% with no chaptalization. “Aromas are typically blacker in 2015 and redder in 2016,” Gublin noted. She added that the ‘15s are in the process of closing down in bottle, which for her is a pleasant surprise. “The ‘15s will age a long time, but the ‘16s will age well too, on their brilliant fruit.”
Incidentally, the Labruyère-Prieur Sélection wines are a négociant project started by Edouard Labruyère in 2013. Labruyère, whose family owns Château Rouget in Pomerol and Domaine Labruyère in Moulin à Vent in addition to Domaine Prieur, buys only fruit, and his wines are made by Gublin at Domaine Prieur.

Based in Meursault since the 19th century, Domaine Jacques Prieur boasts one of the finest collections of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in existence. Its 21 hectares of vineyards (11 ha of Pinot Noir and 10 ha of Chardonnay) include many prestigious terroirs, such as Grands Crus Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Corton-Bressandes, Echézeaux, Clos Vougeot, Musigny, Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. That's a third of Burgundy's Grands Crus appellations.
Fourteen Premiers Crus complete this magnificent collection spread across Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Nine grands crus, fourteen premiers crus, three crus monopoles, a true pearl necklace.
Today, the Labruyère family is at the helm of this jewel of Burgundy, as well as owners of Château Rouget in Pomerol and Domaine Labruyère in Moulin-à-Vent. They work daily to make the most of this prestigious heritage. They are assisted by Martin Prieur, grandson of Jacques Prieur, who has lived and worked on the estate with his family since 1990. Now responsible, together with Edouard Labruyère, for the marketing of the Domaine's wines, Martin Prieur represents the link between past and present, because no one knows the history of the Domaine and its vineyards as well as he does. Under the leadership of Daniel Godefroy, an experienced vineyard manager who knows each plot inside out, the Domaine has been following a "viticulture raisonnée" approach for many years. The work in the winery and cellar is supervised by the excellent oenologist Nadine Gublin. An expert in thoughtful and precise interventions in the winemaking process, she was awarded the title of Winemaker of the Year by the Revue du Vin de France in 1998.
Domaine Jacques Prieur produces white and red wines that are powerful and flavorful, figureheads of the great modern Burgundy, and is made entirely of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus (with the exception of Clos de Mazeray in Meursault, Monopole and emblematic Village Appellation).
