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.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze 2016 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru toont rijpe kersen en bosbessen naast subtiele kruiden, aarde en een duidelijke mineraliteit, ondersteund door gerijpt eiken en stevige maar elegante tannines. Door die combinatie van geconcentreerd fruit, fijne kruidigheid en structurele frisheid past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees en wild omdat hij vet en umami snijdt en de smaken verdiept; ook bij rijpere kazen vormt de wijn een mooie balans tussen zout en kruidigheid en op het terras werkt hij prima als men van complexere rode wijnen houdt. Bereidingen die extra goed werken zijn gegrild of rosé gebakken entrecôte met peperkorst, langzaam geroosterd hert of haas met een donkere jus en paddenstoelen, of een plank met oude Comté of Beaufort.

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).
