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.
The finages of Volnay are renowned for their great finesse. The Champans climate indicates that the plot is sloping, which favors a beautiful sunshine guaranteeing maturity. The more clayey than calcareous soils produce firm wines with silky tannins.
The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted and completely destemmed. The fermentation lasted 18 days at controlled temperature in open 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: 17 months.
