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.

Tim Atkin MW (95)These old vines sit up against the woods on the Ladoix side, so this is typically later in the succession of picking dates chez Prieur. It's hard to find Corton this delectable and charming, especially so young. The vintage shines through beautifully here. The wine blazes with pure yellow fruits, oyster shell and puff pastry. Its delicious, robust core is nicely defined by bracing acidity. 2023-38 |

Vinous (95+)(13.8%; from 30- and 60+-year-old vines; 3-1/2 barrels made, versus just 1 in 2016): Bright dark red. Sappy, pure aromas of black and red fruits and pungent minerals lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully penetrating and smooth, displaying outstanding intensity and class to its fruit and savory mineral flavors. Offers a compelling combination of velour and weightlessness. Thick and seamless but still youthfully tight, this very pure wine finishes with superb subtle rising length. This very cool site can perform splendidly in hot years like 2015; indeed, the estate harvested these vines at the end, on September 11. But winemaker Gublin noted that the first vintage was 1996 and that the estate has never had a negative surprise, in either cold or hot years. I prefer this wine to the Chambertin for its suavity. And here the terroir (Domaine Prieur's vines are in Les Champs Traversins and Les Poulaillères) dominates the vintage character. A wine of great panache. |

Vinous (90-91)The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a slightly conservative bouquet with pure dark cherry and cranberry aromas, but does not quite deliver the nuance and complexity of the best wines from this vineyard in 2017. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, but very strict and stoic, tight-lipped towards the finish. Hopefully this will gain more personality once it is in bottle. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very intense, almost heady bouquet with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit; a dash of black pepper emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, and very powerful for this vineyard, but it manages to maintain balance. The finish offers great length and satisfying freshness to counterbalance the fruit intensity. This might well be the pick of Prieur’s reds this year. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the 23-year-old vines within Chambertin Grand Cru and is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined, focused bouquet of vivid black and red fruit laced with crushed stone and light earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a little saline in the mouth, and gently grippy toward the finish. It feels tight at the moment, showing a little force on the finish rather than a natural flow, but it should mellow with time. |

James Suckling (98)What an enveloping nose of fully ripe apricot, orange and persimmon this opulent, yet seamlessly balanced Montrachet Grand Cru has! There is some vanilla oak which comes through on the palate too, but the concentrated fruit wins out hands down. In fact, there’s nothing about this very great white Burgundy that’s overdone. Super-long and silky finish. Limited production. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93+)Good medium red. Slightly reduced, reserved aromas of kirsch, minerals and clove. Quite taut in the mouth, and showing much more energy in bottle than it displayed from barrel in November of 2010. The medicinal redcurrant and red cherry fruit flavors are complemented by saline and pronounced spice qualities. Ultimately silky and classy wine, with a long, clinging finish that shows continuing spice character. This needs a good eight to ten years of bottle aging. |

Wine Advocate (95)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Musigny 2011 from Jacques Prieur displays more red fruit on the nose compared the blue fruit found elsewhere in this flight of blind Chambolle Amoureuses and Musigny 2011s. It is beautifully defined, perhaps a touch earthier than its peers, with a slight meatiness developing in the glass, subsequently wild heather and broom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe, quite toasty tannins. There is impressive depth here, although it does not quite possess tip-top finesse and delineation on the finish. Still, this is very fine and here, under blind condition, out-maneuvered some of the more revered names. |

Wine Advocate (94-96)The 2012 Musigny Grand Cru comes from Prieur’s 0.77-hectare parcel located in the southern section of the grand cru close to Clos de Vougeot. This year it deigned the world with 9 barrels of which seven were new. It clearly has the most sophisticated, complex bouquet of the domaine’s reds in 2012 adorned with blackberry, raspberry leaf, creme de cassis, minerals and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation. This has a firm backbone that lends this Musigny a sense of masculinity and sternness, a 2012 that demands you come back in 2022. Very focused with fine mineralite on the finish, this should be cellared away for a number of years. Finally, there is the small matter (literally) of what to my knowledge is one of the most elusive wines in Burgundy. |

Burghound (93-95)(Don't Miss!) The breezy nose is also overtly spicy with markedly ripe yet fresh aromas of plum liqueur, cassis and Asian-style tea nuances. There is outstanding concentration to the powerful yet polished and sleek broad-shouldered and mineral-inflected flavors that are at once muscular and refined while delivering positively terrific depth and length. I very much like the balance and this stunner of a wine should also reward longer-term cellaring. |

Burghound (92-94)A brooding and beautifully complex nose of spiced plum and a remarkably broad mix of dark berry fruit scents is trimmed in a background application of wood. The opulent, rich, round, velvety and wonderfully refined middle weight flavors display excellent mid-palate density and impressive volume on the superbly long finish where a touch of menthol appears. This too is really very good but note well that it's indisputably built-to-age. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very sensual and generous bouquet with very pretty black cherries, raspberry preserve, overripe Satsuma and mineral scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, more backward than the aromatics at the moment but very well balanced with super-fine tannin framing the feminine and quite persistent finish. Good potential here. |
