Jacques Prieur
It would be an understatement to say that the vineyard holdings of Domaine Jacques Prieur are great. The domaine is the only property in Burgundy that owns vineyard holdings in five of the region’s most prestigious Grand Crus including: Montrachet, Corton, Echézeaux , Musigny, and Chambertin. The history of this famous domaine begins in the 1860s with the marriage of Claude Duvergey and Marie Taboureau.
After years of investing in viticulture and purchasing vineyards throughout the 1800s in the most sought after appellations in the Côte d'Or, Taboureau left the estate to her great nephew, Jacques Prieur. In 1956, the domaine changed its name to that of the new owner, and today is operated by the Labruyere family.
Tasting Notes
- WA92
- The finished 2005 Clos Vougeot offers surprisingly candied black raspberry and cherry aromas, with floral, carnal and mineral notes largely overwhelmed by the sheer sweetness of perfume. Formidably dense and mouth filling, it is possessed of considerable tannic chew yet persistent sweetness. Cedary, smoky, and toasty notes emerge in the finish, and suggestions of meat and stone manage to assert themselves as well. I suspect this wine will harden not too long after bottling even if a lot of superficial sweetness remains. Certainly it can scarcely be faulted for sheer concentration, although I prefer the extra measure of transparency in the Corton. b> Rating: 91-91
