Domaine Jacques Prieur, Clos de Vougeot 2018

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Clos de Vougeot 2018 is a distinguished Burgundy red from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most historic and prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Made from Pinot Noir, it combines seductive red-fruit freshness with a powerful, finely structured palate, offering both immediate charm and excellent cellaring potential. Clos de Vougeot has been cultivated since the Middle Ages and remains one of Burgundy’s most celebrated vineyard sites.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour. Its expressive nose opens with alluring cherry and other fresh red-fruit aromas, followed by more complex notes of toast, spice and liquorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, with vibrant fruit, a beautifully enveloping texture and rich, powerful tannins that provide impressive structure and length. The 2018 vintage offers generous fruit and depth while retaining a pleasing freshness. It can be enjoyed after careful decanting, but its firm tannic framework suggests strong ageing potential over the next 10–15 years, or longer in excellent cellars.

Production
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted before fermentation. Approximately 45% of the bunches are retained whole, while the remainder is destemmed. Fermentation takes place over 20 days at controlled temperature in open wooden vats, with twice-daily pump-overs during the most active stage of alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is completed in full, followed by 100% maturation in oak barrels.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for refined, richly flavoured dishes such as roast or braised beef, venison, duck, lamb, wild mushrooms and mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving when enjoyed young to help soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s layered aromas; older bottles should be decanted carefully and briefly, if at all.
