Background
The domaine of Bertrand Ambroise was established in the late 18th century in the village of Prémeaux-Prissey, just north of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Today the estate has expanded to 42 acres which are worked diligently by Bertrand and his family.
Bertrand produces some of the finest examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundy. He often works with 10%-30% lower yields than are allowed. His genuine passion only to produce wines from absolutely ripe grapes demands a severe green harvest and an additional inspection or sorting of the fruit prior to fermentation. All of this detail work has created a worldwide demand for his wines.
The style of Bertrand’s wines can be characterized as ripe, deeply extracted, full bodied, structured Pinot Noirs with clean fruit flavors being the focus. This Corton has sweet aromas of cassis, blackberries and toast. A very powerful wine!
Ratings & Reviews
91-94 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:"This is also quite ripe though the dense red and black cherry aromas are fresh if not necessarily especially elegant and are in keeping with the big-bodied and extremely rich flavors that possess excellent power, focus and length on the velvety yet chewy finish. This is a big wine but not necessarily a rustic one." (Jan 30, 2010)
