Domaine Jacques Prieur - Meursault - Clos de Mazeray Monopole 2022

Keywords : Rich / Balanced / Elegant

The wine : What a stunning Meursault from Domaine Jacques Prieur! Sourced exclusively from Clos de Mazeray, a vineyard wholly owned by the estate, this white rivals many a Premier Cru. Rich and opulent, it reveals notes of butter, brioche and vanilla, lifted by a hint of cinnamon. A fine mineral backbone lends freshness and poise, beautifully balancing its generous character. Peach, pear and apricot mingle with ripe citrus on the rounded palate, leading to an elegant, deeply satisfying finish. A beautifully classic Meursault that leaves a lasting impression!

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. Welcome to this legendary Burgundy house that you absolutely must discover !
