Domaine Jacques Prieur - Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot 2019

Key words: Harmonious / Elegant / Finesse

The wine: With almost 51 hectares, the Clos de Vougeot is the largest of the Grands Crus of Burgundy and within the latter, the Jacques Prieur estate has a beautiful plot of just over one hectare with mainly clay soil. Thanks to this terroir, the estate produces an incredible wine with an ample mouthfeel and a very great finesse. Aging for 22 months in barrels (50% of which are new) gives a brilliant patina to this cuvée, evolving on seductive fruity notes (kirche cherry, strawberry, raspberry), spicy aromas  (licorice, pepper ) as well as a delicious undergrowth and humus touch. The harmony is total and the length exceptional, once again proving all the know-how of this legendary house. A great wine to pair with poultry, red meat and game.

The estate: Established in the commune of Meursault since the 19th century, the domaine Jacques Prieur has an exceptional heritage of vines made up of 21 hectares (11 ha of Pinot noir and 10 ha of Chardonnay). The house is notably at the head of magnificent plots in the Grands Crus Musigny, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Corton-Charlemagne, Clos de Vougeot and Montrachet. 14 prestigious Premiers Crus as well as the splendid Clos de Mazeray monopoly complete the panorama. If the history of the property is long and rich, it is the Labruyère family who, for more than 30 years and always supported by the Prieur family, continues to promote this Burgundian wine gem. Daniel Godefroy (the head of cultivation) and Nadine Gublin (the estate's oenologist) take care to magnify their terroirs through reasoned vineyard management as well as highly precise vinification. Welcome to this legendary Burgundy house that you absolutely must know!
