Domaine Jacques Prieur, Echezeaux 2020

Domaine Jacques Prieur’s Echézeaux 2020 is a distinguished Grand Cru Burgundy, expressing the depth, perfume and finesse for which this celebrated Côte de Nuits appellation is renowned. Made from Pinot Noir, it combines the elegance of a fine red Burgundy with the concentration and long-term potential expected from one of Vosne-Romanée’s most prestigious vineyards.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, rose petal, violet and subtle spice, complemented by hints of earth and finely integrated oak. On the palate, it is layered and refined, balancing succulent fruit with silky tannins, bright acidity and a lingering, mineral finish. The warm, generous 2020 vintage gives the wine impressive concentration while retaining the freshness needed for balance. It can be enjoyed after careful aeration now, but should develop greater complexity over the next 10–20 years under suitable cellaring conditions.

Production
Echézeaux is a Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, situated on limestone-rich, well-drained soils that help produce Pinot Noir with both aromatic precision and structure. Domaine Jacques Prieur’s fruit is handled with the care required for a wine of this classification, with a focus on preserving the character of the site through meticulous harvesting and controlled vinification before maturation in oak. Specific parcel and élevage details may vary by release.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended for around 30–60 minutes when opening the wine young, while older bottles are best handled gently and decanted only if necessary to remove sediment. Its refined structure pairs beautifully with roast duck, squab, veal, game birds, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes and carefully prepared dishes featuring truffle.

Producer
Based in Meursault, Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of Burgundy’s historic estates, with roots reaching back to the 19th century. The domaine is distinguished by its holdings across several of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations, including a selection of Grand Cru vineyards, and is recognised for producing wines that combine the identity of each terroir with the elegance and precision associated with fine Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits Burgundy.
