Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Jacques Prieur (Domaine) 2008

La «cuvée»

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru evokes aromas of chalk, flint and mushrooms with notes of aniseed and brioche. The palate expresses a beautiful tension and savouriness, and a very good aromatic persistence with saline, aniseed notes. This wine offers a wide range of food and wine pairings: fish, shellfish and poultry would suit it perfectly.

The Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of the most prestigious domains in Burgundy. It is the only domain with vines in the five mythic appellations of Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Charlemagne and Montrachet. Since 2007, 70% of the domain is owned by the Labruyère family (Clos du Moulin at Moulin-à-vent and Château Rouget at Pommerol), who bought Antonin Rodet's shares. Jean-Pierre Labruyère is the manager. The other 30% is still owned by the Prieur heirs. Half of the distribution is taken care of by Antonin Rodet and the other half by the domain. The wines are vinified by Nadine Gublin since 1990, renowned oenologist for her work, the precision and the quality of her wines. It is now one of the most prestigious from Burgundy. It is the only domain with vines in the five biggest iconic appellations of Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Charlemagne and Montrachet.
