Domaine Jacques Prieur - Meursault - Clos de Mazeray Monopole 2020

Key words: Opulence / Gluttony / Elegance

Wine:What an incredible slap in the face this Meursault from Domaine Jacques Prieur! From grapes harvested exclusively on the Clos de Mazeray (plot operated as a monopoly by the house), this is a nectar rising to the level of many cuvées stamped 1er Cru. Both rich and opulent thanks to its notes of butter, brioche, vanilla and cinnamon, this bottle has 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 delicacy. A brilliant and unforgettable classic Meursault!

The estate: Settled in the town of Meursault since the 19th century, the Domaine Jacques Prieur has an exceptional heritage of 21 hectares of vines (11 hectares of Pinot Noir and 10 hectares of Chardonnay). The house is in particular at the head of magnificent plots of Grands Crus Musigny, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Corton-Charlemagne or Montrachet. 14 prestigious Premiers Crus as well as the splendid Clos de Mazeray monopoly complete the panorama. If the history of the domain is rich, it is for more than 30 years the Labruyère family (always supported by the Prieur family) which continues to value this Burgundy wine-growing jewel. Daniel Godefroy (vineyard manager) and Nadine Gublin (oenologist) take care to magnify their terroirs through reasoned vineyard management and high precision vinification. Welcome to this legendary Burgundy house you absolutely need to know!
