France
Burgundy
750ml
14-18∘C
Intense and dark ruby red. Very open and very rich on notes of black fruits, black cherry liqueur, evolving with aeration on notes of dark chocolate, liquorice spices, tobacco and soot. Tasty and juicy with spicy, toasted, peppery notes that evolve into notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blueberry). Warm finish on the palate with powerful, ripe and lively tannins.
Since 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur has created one of the rarest mosaics of terroirs in Burgundy. Today it is probably the only estate owning vineyards on the greatest appellations both of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot, Echézeaux, Corton, Meursault or Montrachet. This amazing collection is completed by other prestigious appellations and 3 Clos Monopoles.
Large plot with the evocative name "Les Champs au pied du mont" climbs the hillside behind the suburb of Beaune. This full-oriented vine is produced in both white and red. The Pinot Noir in its lower part benefits from a very clayey soil guaranteeing colorful and powerful wines. The high proportion of iron often brings out smoky or smoky notes.
The grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes then sorted and completely destemmed. The vatting lasted 20 days at controlled temperature in open wooden vats. We perform a punching down twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. The aging is done 100% in oak barrels. Aging period: 17 months.
