Description
The 2018 harvest was a record year: little precipitation, exceptional sunshine, an average temperature 2°C above normal. These were circumstances that would produce a great vintage throughout Burgundy. The alcoholic fermentation and maturation are carried out 100% in new oak barrels, with a maturing period of 22 months.
The Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru is a 100% Pinot Noir on a plot of 0.76 hectares. Musigny Grand Cru is one of the best terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. The vineyard is located on a fault line overlooking the Clos Vougeot and borders the Combe d'Orveau. Le Musigny has a south-eastern sunny position and a unique, sunny microclimate. The thin, light soil has a high proportion of stones that not only ensure good drainage, but also store heat during the day and release it again at night. The grapes are always very ripe and produce a velvety nectar with beautiful floral (violet) aromas and an impressively long aftertaste.
VINIFICATION & AGEING The grapes were picked by hand in small boxes, then sorted and completely destemmed. The wine remained on the skins for 19 days in temperature-controlled open oak barrels. Pigeage (hood immersion) was performed twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was fully matured in oak barrels. Duration of barrel aging: 19 months
- COLOR: Intense ruby red with a clear purple hue.
- NOSE: Finesse and elegance. Ethereal, beautiful floral notes (violets, rose petals).
- TASTE: Tasty, small berries, appetizing toastiness. Fine and silky tannins. Very pleasant drinkability in the aftertaste.

2025 - 2045
From: 2018 Burgundy: Confounded Expectations (Jan 2020)
The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined bouquet of intense blackberry, bilberry and light floral scents, plus touches of incense and pressed iris flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and quite firmly structured, so that it grips the mouth (though not as forcefully as the 2018 Chambertin). The spicy finish lingers in the mouth. Very fine.

"It was an early season," head winemaker Nadine Gublin told me, once I have navigated my way through the thick fog and omnipresent roadworks surrounding their winery in Meursault. "We did a green harvest for the Chardonnay - the first time - in order to control the yield. We began to pick on 29 August and finished on 12-13 September. We commenced with the Chardonnay and then the Pinot Noir. It was sunny, dry but the big surprise was that despite there being no rain, the vintage was generous for Chardonnay. Pinot Noir was approximately the same as in 2017 and perhaps the variety is more sensitive to conditions than Chardonnay. Vinification was simple due to the healthiness of the grapes, the good level of sugar and the good tartaric levels. This was very important. The hot weather burned the malic acid at the end of August so the tartaric was crucial. The malolactic was done by May/June 2019 after which the alcohol was between 13.5% and 13.8% and the levels of total acidity around 3.80gm/L, pH 3.40-3.50. We will begin the bottling the reds in February up until July 2020."

Based in Meursault since the 19th century, Domaine Jacques Prieur boasts one of the finest collections of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in existence. Its 21 hectares of vineyards (11 ha of Pinot Noir and 10 ha of Chardonnay) include many prestigious terroirs, such as Grands Crus Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Corton-Bressandes, Echézeaux, Clos Vougeot, Musigny, Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. That's a third of Burgundy's Grands Crus appellations.
Fourteen Premiers Crus complete this magnificent collection spread across Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Nine grands crus, fourteen premiers crus, three crus monopoles, a true pearl necklace.
Today, the Labruyère family is at the helm of this jewel of Burgundy, as well as owners of Château Rouget in Pomerol and Domaine Labruyère in Moulin-à-Vent. They work daily to make the most of this prestigious heritage. They are assisted by Martin Prieur, grandson of Jacques Prieur, who has lived and worked on the estate with his family since 1990. Now responsible, together with Edouard Labruyère, for the marketing of the Domaine's wines, Martin Prieur represents the link between past and present, because no one knows the history of the Domaine and its vineyards as well as he does. Under the leadership of Daniel Godefroy, an experienced vineyard manager who knows each plot inside out, the Domaine has been following a "viticulture raisonnée" approach for many years. The work in the winery and cellar is supervised by the excellent oenologist Nadine Gublin. An expert in thoughtful and precise interventions in the winemaking process, she was awarded the title of Winemaker of the Year by the Revue du Vin de France in 1998.
Domaine Jacques Prieur produces white and red wines that are powerful and flavorful, figureheads of the great modern Burgundy, and is made entirely of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus (with the exception of Clos de Mazeray in Meursault, Monopole and emblematic Village Appellation).
