Description
The vineyard is located on the hill where the Grands Crus of Corton are located, facing east. It offers a beautiful view over the village of Ladoix-Serrigny and reaches the edge of the forest. This steep and chalky vineyard produces a wine with an intense minerality.
The whole bunches of grapes are picked by hand and carefully pressed in a pneumatic wine press. The juice is cold-clarified for 36 hours under controlled temperatures. The alcoholic fermentation and maturation take place entirely in oak barrels, with 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 20 months.
In the glass, this Prieur Gorton Charlemagne Grand Cru has a green-golden color with silver highlights. The nose is discreet with notes of anise and pepper, fresh bread and sweet spices. In the mouth, this fantastic wine has a lot of energy and tension. Notes of vanilla and spices with a very juicy aftertaste and beautiful mouthfeel

Wijnhuis
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).
