Description
After an exceptionally mild winter, the vines quickly started growing again and the first buds burst on 25 March. Thanks to a generous amount of sunshine and high temperatures in the spring, the vineyard developed quickly and the first flowers appeared on 12 May. Flowering was rapid and finished completely on 26 May. The heat set in for the summer and ripening began in early July. The heat waves at the end of July and mid-August, as well as the lack of water, did not slow down the ripening of the grapes, which on the contrary progressed very quickly. The harvest began at Domaine Jacques Prieur on 20 August with Pinot Noir grapes from the Côte de Beaune and ended on 2 September, an unprecedented earliness. The grapes were in perfect health, with excellent ripeness and high acidity, which can be explained by the concentration that occurred at the end of the ripening cycle under the influence of a warm wind from the south and high temperatures.
100% Chardonnay on a plot of 0.28 hectares. Very thin soil (15-20 cm) on a steep slope facing due east. Very calcareous subsoil. Lithographic limestone with stony soil. Whole bunches of grapes were hand-picked into small crates and pressed in a pneumatic wine press. The juice was cold settled after 36 hours of pressing under temperature-controlled conditions. Alcoholic fermentation and maturation entirely in oak barrels for 21 months. 100% malolactic fermentation.
Bright green-gold with sparkling silver-grey highlights. Rich and complex aromas with fresh, sour citrus notes. After aeration, very fresh anise and flint notes. Tasty, full of energy with crunchy spicy notes. Very nice juiciness in the finish that creates an endless length.

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).
