Jacques Prieur
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.
Terroir
Vineyard located on the hill of the Grands Crus of Corton. Oriented due east, it overlooks the villages of Ladoix-Serrigny and climbs to the edge of the woods. The soil is steep and very chalky, a guarantee of an intense minerality.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes then the whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice is settled after pressing for 12 to 14 hours at controlled temperature. Alcoholic fermentation and aging take place in new oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. Aging period: 22 months.
