Magnificent, dark and deep red-black. Ripe spicy fruit with notes of juicy black cherry, enhanced by notes of coffee and sweet spices. Dense, fleshy, salivating, tactile on notes of ripe black fruits and an exceptionally persistent and enveloping finish.
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.
In the "Champs Traversins", in the heart of the historic Echézeaux, a North-South plantation at the exit of the Combe d'Orveau. Brown soil not very thick. Pebble on the surface, very fine and sandy / siliceous. Sumptuous micro-climate, very airy, cool, healthy (small stream of fresh air).
The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted and completely destemmed. The vatting lasted 21 days at controlled temperature in wooden vats. We perform a punching down twice a day during the active phase of alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. The aging is done 100% in oak barrels. Aging period: 20 months.
