Tasting

Colour
The colour displays a striking red hue.

Nose
Highly intense, the bouquet reveals a lovely minerality underpinning luscious aromas of red and black cherries. With aeration, great complexity emerges through notes of spice, damp earth and delicate floral touches.

Palate
With a crisp texture and lovely energy, the palate offers a precise, linear structure. Fruity, mineral and earthy flavours intermingle harmoniously, supported by ripe tannins. The remarkably long finish lingers on nuances of stewed cherry, limestone and delicate liquorice.

Food and wine pairing

This great red wine pairs wonderfully with roasted feathered game, duck breast, or flavourful meats such as rib steak or braised lamb. It also goes very well with mushroom dishes, meat tagines, and characterful cheeses such as Époisses, Cantal or Morbier.

The elegance and precision of a Burgundy grand cru by Domaine Poisot Père & Fils

The estate

Founded in 1902 following a family inheritance, Domaine Poisot Père & Fils is a small estate of around 2 hectares located in Burgundy, France. Since 2010, Rémi Poisot has headed the estate, managing all operations with a philosophy of minimal intervention. Although part of the vineyards was acquired by the LVMH group in 2024, Rémi Poisot retains full management of the estate. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale, the estate stands out for its terroir-respectful approach, producing wines of great authenticity.

The vineyard

Located on the lower part of the Corton hillside, this climat benefits from an ideal south-east exposure. The old vines, aged between 40 and 50 years, thrive on brown limestone soils enriched with marl, silty clay, iron and gravel. The estate favours sustainable viticulture, with natural grassing and soil management adapted to promote biodiversity and vine health.

The vintage

2022 offered generous climatic conditions. After a late budbreak that avoided the effects of the April frosts, spring proved warm, favouring excellent flowering at the end of May. Rainfall at the end of June built up crucial water reserves to cope with a particularly hot and dry summer. The harvest, carried out at the end of August, yielded berries of even ripeness and perfect balance.

Winemaking and ageing

Following manual harvesting and rigorous sorting in the vineyard, the grapes destined for this Corton Bressandes Grand Cru Domaine 2022 are entirely destemmed. A cold maceration precedes alcoholic fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts, with daily punching down of the cap. The wine is then aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new. Bottling takes place without fining or filtration in order to preserve the full purity of the fruit.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
