Domaine Jacques Prieur - Meursault - Clos de Mazeray Monopole 2022

Keywords : Ample / Indulgent / Elegance

The wine : What an incredible sensation this Meursault from Domaine Jacques Prieur is! Made from grapes harvested exclusively from the Clos de Mazeray (a plot solely managed by the estate), this nectar rises to the level of many 1er Cru-labeled cuvées. At once 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 that brings a perfectly controlled freshness. Notes of peach, pear, apricot, and ripe citrus fruits round off the tasting of this masterpiece combining elegance, class, and roundness. A Meursault of brilliant and unforgettable classicism!

The estate: Installed in the commune of Meursault since the 19th century, the Jacques Prieur estate  boasts an exceptional heritage of vineyards composed of 21 hectares (11 ha of Pinot Noir and 10 ha of Chardonnay). The brand is notably at the head of magnificent plots on the Grands Crus Musigny, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Corton-Charlemagne, Clos de Vougeot, and also Montrachet. 14 prestigious Premier Crus as well as the splendid Clos de Mazeray monopoly complete the panorama. While the history of the estate is long and rich, it is the Labruyère family who, for over 30 years and always supported by the Prieur family, continue to enhance this Burgundian wine jewel. Daniel Godefroy (the vineyard manager)  and Nadine Gublin (the estate's oenologist) ensure that their terroirs are showcased through sustainable vineyard management as well as vinifications of great precision.
