Domaine Jacques Prieur
About Domaine Jacques Prieur
Since 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur has quietly but diligently assembled what may just be the single most extensive collections of vineyards of any single Domaine in the region. One of, or quite probably the only, vineyard owning estates in Burgundy to currently own plots across both Côte de Beaune and Nuits, collectors have been seeking out and delighting in the wines of Jacques Prieur for centuries.
Today, one of France’s greatest female winemakers is at the helm, overseeing a mosaic of truly exceptional terroirs. Nadine Gublin was in fact named Best Winemaker in France by the Revue de Vin de France in 1998, and has done nothing but improve her methods and knowledge since then. Examples of this include the move towards some selective whole-bunch fermentation and the well-judged usage of between 50 and 80% new oak barrels for their Grands Crus.

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the "young old vines", around 25-years in age, and is 100% de-stemmed. It’s funny because on the nose, its spiciness implies there are some stems in this blend, well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, velvety opening. This is plush and seductive, quite Vosne-like in style, some new oak to be subsumed on the finish. I cannot help falling for this Gevrey and you might too. |
