2016 Jacques Prieur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Domaine Jacques Prieur
Clay dominates this terroir, which produces powerful and structured wines which are a little rustic in their early youth. Jacques Prieur's roughly 1Ha is "at the top of the bottom of the Clos". 30% whole bunches here.

(at 13% potential alcohol, this cuvée was the highest in octane in 2016 and was not chaptalized; these vines were affected by frost--the yield was 24 hectoliters per hectare--but not to the same extent as the estate's Echézeaux and Musigny): Dark red with ruby tones. Captivating, ripe, soil-driven nose shows savory mineral and spice nuances. Silky on entry, then fine-grained and elegant in the middle palate, with nothing hard or rustic about it. Cherry and redcurrant fruit flavors are complicated by saline mineral notes and a suggestion of anise. Finishes with full, mounting, harmonious tannins and lovely energy and length. Very classic Clos Vougeot.
