Domaine Jacques Prieur, Clos de Vougeot 2021

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Clos de Vougeot 2021 is a refined Burgundy Grand Cru with a compelling balance of freshness, depth and polished structure. Hailing from the historic Clos de Vougeot vineyard, one of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated walled vineyards, it combines vibrant cherry fruit with expressive spice and impressive concentration.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour. Its bouquet is elegant and inviting, opening with fresh cherry aromas before revealing layers of toasted oak, spice and liquorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, yet beautifully fresh, with a rich, enveloping texture and powerful, spicy tannins that provide excellent structure. The 2021 vintage’s freshness gives the wine energy and balance, while its concentration and tannic backbone suggest considerable cellaring potential. It can be enjoyed after careful decanting in its youth, but should develop greater complexity over the next 8–15 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The grapes come from the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, a historic, walled site known for producing structured and age-worthy Pinot Noir on a complex mix of limestone and clay soils. The fruit is harvested by hand and carefully sorted. Approximately 45% of the bunches are retained as whole clusters, while the remainder is destemmed. Fermentation takes place for around 20 days at controlled temperatures in open-top wooden vats, with twice-daily pump-overs during the active phase of alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is completed in full, and the wine is matured entirely in oak barrels.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for refined dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison and mushroom-based preparations. It also pairs beautifully with classic Burgundy dishes, including coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Serve at 16–18°C. Decant for approximately 1–2 hours when serving young to help open the aromas and soften the tannins; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted only if necessary to remove sediment.
