2015 Jacques Prieur Beaune 1er Cru Champs-Pimont Rouge
Domaine Jacques Prieur
This large plot with the name meaning “fields at the foot of the hill” climbs the hillside behind Beaune, towards Pommard. This vines have full south exposure, and produce both white and red wine. The Pinot Noir in its lower part has plenty of clay in the soil, giving powerful wines with colour, while the high proportion of iron often brings out smoky notes. 30% new oak.

(just 17 hectoliters per hectare produced, as this Beaune vineyard suffered most from hail in 2014 and 2013): Dark red with ruby highlights. Penetrating aromas of black raspberry, violet, spices, smoky tobacco and graphite showcase the red clay soil of the site. Plush, fine-grained and energetic, with captivating dark berry, black cherry, spice and mineral flavors dominating. Finishes juicy, sappy and long, with lovely acidity and substantial firm, late-arriving tannins. This thick, sweet, vibrant wine has 14% alcohol with 3.8 grams per liter of tartaric acidity. Nicely primary.
