Product details
Domaine Pierre Dubreuil-Fontaine is a long-established family estate with deep roots on the Hill of Corton, renowned for producing structured, age-worthy expressions that faithfully reflect their origin. The Corton Perrières site is particularly prized for its stony soils and elevated position, which contribute intensity, firmness, and a distinctive mineral backbone. The 2017 release showcases the domaine’s careful vineyard work and patient maturation philosophy, resulting in a profile that emphasizes depth, presence, and longevity while maintaining balance and clarity. This is a serious and expressive Corton, crafted to reward both immediate enjoyment and time in the bottle.
The bouquet is well defined and layered, opening with ripe blackberry and crushed strawberry, complemented by notes of wet limestone and loamy earth. On the palate, concentrated fruit meets savory spice, with peppery nuances adding energy and drive. The structure is broad and powerful, delivering extra volume and firm tannins that carry the flavors forward. A remarkably long finish leaves a lasting impression of depth and intensity. This bold profile pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, sautéed veal, roasted pigeon, and distinctive cheeses such as Comté or Époisses.
