Domaine Jacques Prieur - Meursault - Clos de Mazeray Monopole 2021

Key words: Opulence / Gourmandise / Elegance

The wine: What an incredible slap in the face this Meursault from Domaine Jacques Prieur! Coming from grapes harvested exclusively on the Clos de Mazeray (plot operated as a monopoly by the house), here is a nectar rising to the level of many vintages labeled 1er Cru. Both rich and opulent thanks to its notes of butter, brioche, vanilla and cinnamon, this bottle enjoys a perfect balance thanks to a beautiful mineral structure providing totally controlled freshness. Notes of peach, pear, apricot and ripe citrus fruits close the tasting of this masterpiece combining elegance, class and deliciousness. A truly brilliant and unforgettable Meursault!

The estate: Iinstalled in the town of Meursault since the 19th century, the domaine Jacques Prieur has an exceptional heritage of vines composed of 21 hectares (11 ha of Pinot black 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 reasonable vineyard management as well as very precise winemaking. Welcome to this legendary Burgundy house that you absolutely must know!
