How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe Jacques Prieur Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is a 100% Pinot Noir from an iconic vineyard. This 50 hectare clos (walled vineyard) was created by the monks of Cîteaux. Their cellar was located in the Château du Clos Vougeot, which is now the headquarters of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. The soil has a high clay content, which produces powerful, well-structured wines that have a rustic side when very young. The grapes were picked by hand and placed in small crates, then sorted and completely destemmed. The wine remained on the skins for 22 days in open, temperature-controlled oak barrels. Pigeage (pressing the cap) was done twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation and the wine was fully matured in oak barrels (22 months).
2019 was a difficult vintage. After an exceptionally mild winter, the vine quickly resumed activity and saw its first buds burst on April 1. Again in the spring frost threatened the vine. Delayed by the cool temperatures of May, flowering began painfully in early June, lasted about two weeks and ended around June 20, under intense heat. From then on the vine developed at a breakneck pace, but the high temperatures during fruit set caused significant symptoms of sagging. At the end of July, a new heat wave spread the veraison: by mid-August it was between 50% and 80%, but showed large differences from one plot to another, mainly due to the staggered flowering. Despite the heat in September, the heterogeneity of the veraison made it difficult for us to predict the harvest date. We had to check the ripeness several times, plot by plot, depending on the age of the vine and the sector. With all these elements in hand, we decided to start picking on September 9, 2019, which is eight to nine days earlier than originally planned when flowering ended. The 2019 harvest, which was heavily influenced by weather conditions, is characterized by low yields. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, perfectly healthy, offered a great balance of sugars and acidity, and full ripeness.

Wine features
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).
Deze Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2019 toont purperrode kersen en rode bessen naast aardse nuance van bosgrond en truffel, subtiele kruidigheid van gerijpt eiken en stevige maar rijpe tannines met heldere zuurgraad die de krachtige structuur en bewaarpotentieel bepalen. Hierdoor vormt hij een perfecte match bij rundvlees, lam, wild en rijpe kazen: gegrild of rosé gebraden entrecote of lamsrack accentueert de fruitigheid, langzaam gegaard rundvlees of wild met een jus of jeneverbessensaus geeft de tannines iets om aan te werken, en volle, gerijpte kazen zoals Comté of Epoisses sluiten mooi aan bij de aardse en eikennoten.
