Since 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur has created one of the rarest mosaics of terroirs in Burgundy. Today, it is certainly the only one to own vines in the greatest appellations of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot, Echézeaux, Corton, Meursault and Montrachet. This incredible collection is completed by other prestigious appellations as well as 3 Clos Monopoles.
2014: A very big thank you in September!
Under the influence of a mild, wet winter and a warm, dry spring, the vine's vegetative cycle resumed its activity very early, from the end of March, and 2014 is at this time one of the earliest of the last 20 years. However, we must not forget the violent hail storm of Saturday 28 June which destroyed the heart of the Côte de Beaune and the optimism of the Burgundy winegrowing world about the very good potential of the 2014 vintage. From that date onwards, the weather conditions in July and August were particularly disturbed, with a lot of humidity and cool temperatures (mainly in August)... and miracle!!! From September 1st, the long awaited summer finally arrived and thanks to dry, warm and sunny weather, most of the grapes reached the desired maturity. The Pinot Noir grapes required a great deal of vigilance as to the date of harvest and required a very rigorous sorting.
