🏰 Jacques Prieur's Corton Bressandes Grand Cru is a magnificent expression of Burgundy's only red Grand Cru in the Cote de Beaune, known for its 【power and full-bodied structure softened by the finesse and elegance of Pinot Noir】. The 2012 vintage, while not as universally lauded as some, produced wines with good concentration and freshness. Expect a dark ruby color with magenta density, and an ample, complex bouquet that evolves from fruity accents of blueberry, gooseberry, and kirsch to flowery notes of violet, moving towards undergrowth, animal, leather, and liquorice. 🍴 This solid and opulent Corton is best paired with strongly-flavored meats, playing in the same key of strength and intense flavor. Think roasted or grilled beef, all gamebirds and animals (roasted, braised, or in a sauce), or even creamy cheeses like Brillat Savarin. 🥂 An excellent choice for a grand dinner, a special celebration, or a serious tasting among connoisseurs. Corton Bressandes Grand Cru has good keeping potential, typically 5 to 20 years depending on storage conditions. Serve between 15-16°C (59-61°F) to allow its complex aromas to fully develop.
