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 (93-95)The 2018 Musigny Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined bouquet of intense blackberry, bilberry and light floral scents, plus touches of incense and pressed iris flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and quite firmly structured, so that it grips the mouth (though not as forcefully as the 2018 Chambertin). The spicy finish lingers in the mouth. Very fine. |

Tim Atkin MW (97)Wildly scented with mulberries, sweet spice, underbrush and department store perfume counter (in a pleasant way), this is aromatically enchanting. Beautifully balanced, the tannins caress while the acidity invigorates the palate. The finish is achingly long. These 75 ares sit just before the chilly Combe d'Orveau and so were picked on September 1st, the penultimate day of harvest. 2024-42 |

Tim Atkin MW (94)Made entirely in barrels with 30% new oak, this exemplifies the delicate flair of Puligny. Starting off with dried white flowers, tree blooms, baking spice and orchard fruit, the aromas are very diverse. The mid-palate is focused with good density and the flavors finish with a pleasant, mouth-coating richness. This is enticingly accessible already. 2022-35 |

Vinous (91-93)(totally destemmed; the crop level was just 23 hectoliters per hectare but there was little frost damage here, according to Gublin): Deep red with ruby tones. Deeper, more important nose hints at medicinal dark cherry and spices. A big step up in concentration over the basic Santenots, conveying an almost chocolatey ripeness and terrific density to its kirsch, spice and savory mineral flavors. This fruit was picked four days later than the younger Santenots vines and the wine delivers much more complexity and grip. Shows a relaxed quality that belies the low yield. Excellent balance and potential here. |

Wine Advocate (89)The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is showing quite well from bottle, offering up aromas of ripe blackberries, plums and cherries, framed by creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with juicy acids, fine tannins and a gently oak-inflected finish. This derives from young vines in Prieur's Clos des Santenots. |
