Domaine Jacques Prieur - Grand Cru Corton-Bressandes 2019

Key words: Velvety / Graceful / Deep

The wine: This magnificent Grand Cru Corton-Bressandes from Prieur delights with its velvety and its extremely graceful texture in the mouth! Located on the hill of the Grands Crus of Corton, the estate's plot has stony clay-limestone soils and a southsouth-east orientation favoring beautiful maturity. On the palate, the fruit is intense and deep, evolving into sweet notes of black and ripe cherry. These combine with a harmonious spicy touch (pepper, cloves, vanilla). and within a few years, tertiary notes (humus, earth, leather) will appear, completing a grandiose aromatic palette. A old-keeping and very high-end Pinot Noir for great moments!
