{"product_id":"2019-domaine-jacques-prieur-musigny-grand-cru","title":"2019 Domaine Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom one of Burgundy’s most revered grand cru vineyards, the 2019 Domaine Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru is a pure, sensual expression of 100% Pinot Noir. Drawn from a tiny 0.76-hectare parcel on the legendary Musigny slope, this is a wine that marries power with haunting finesse, crafted for collectors and lovers of great Côte de Nuits. The Musigny terroir—overlooking Clos de Vougeot and bordering the Combe d’Orveau—has long been celebrated as one of the crown jewels of Burgundy, producing wines of remarkable depth, perfume, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the 2019 Musigny Grand Cru shows an intense, shimmering ruby-red core with a bright, youthful purple rim that hints at its energy and long life ahead. The nose is immediately refined and ethereal, layered with violets and rose petals, delicate red florals and a subtle, almost spicy lift that speaks of great Pinot Noir from a great site.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is both velvety and precise: a core of ripe, small red berries—wild strawberries, raspberries and red cherries—is wrapped in fine, silky tannins. Nuances of subtle toast, a touch of sweet spice and a refined, savory undertone add depth and complexity without ever overpowering the fruit or floral character. The mouthfeel is caressing yet structured, with an exceptionally long, harmonious finish that lingers on floral notes and minerality. This is a grand cru built for the cellar; while it offers impressive approachability in its youth, it will truly unfold over 10–25 years, developing more tertiary notes of forest floor, truffle and dried flowers with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusigny Grand Cru sits on a fault line above Clos de Vougeot, with a south-east exposure that bathes the vines in early and mid-day sun. The thin, light soils are rich in stones, ensuring excellent drainage while storing heat during the day and releasing it at night, creating a warm, sunny microclimate that consistently brings the Pinot Noir grapes to optimal ripeness. At Domaine Jacques Prieur, the grapes are harvested by hand in small crates to protect the fruit, then carefully sorted and fully destemmed. The must macerates on the skins for 19 days in temperature-controlled open oak vats, with traditional pigeage (cap punching) carried out twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation to gently extract color, tannin and aroma. After completing 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 19 months in oak barrels, where it gains texture, integration and subtle toasted nuances without losing the purity of its grand cru terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Musigny Grand Cru is a natural partner for refined, aromatic dishes: think roast pigeon or duck with cherry or red wine jus, venison or veal with wild mushrooms, or a truffled poultry dish. It also shines alongside earthy preparations such as mushroom risotto, roast root vegetables, or mature, soft cheeses like Époisses or Brillat-Savarin. For optimal enjoyment, serve at 15–17°C (59–63°F). In its youth, decanting for 1–2 hours helps the wine open and reveal its layered bouquet; as it ages, a gentler, shorter decant—or even careful service straight from the bottle—will preserve its most delicate aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Jacques Prieur is a historic Burgundy estate based in Meursault, with roots stretching back to the late 19th and early 20th century.
