Tasting Notes

Elegant and expressive with aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and hints of toasted hazelnut. The palate reveals layers of citrus zest, green apple, and subtle vanilla oak nuances, supported by bright acidity and a creamy mid-palate texture. Fine minerality emerges on the medium-length finish, accompanied by delicate buttery notes and a touch of wet stone that speaks to its Meursault terroir.

Loading tasting notes…

Nose of lemon curd, hazelnut and toasted oak from eighteen months in barrel. The palate is broad and creamy, ripe orchard fruit balanced by bright acidity and a saline, stony core. Finish long, textured and precise.

Domaine Jacques Prieur is a Burgundy producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the region's most prestigious communes. The domaine produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from vineyard holdings across the Côte d'Or, with a particular focus on premier and grand cru sites.

Gevrey-Chambertin and Puligny-Montrachet represent two of Burgundy's finest terroirs—the former renowned for structured, complex Pinot Noirs with mineral depth, the latter for refined and age-worthy white wines from Chardonnay. Both communes demand precise viticulture and careful winemaking to express the subtleties of their individual vineyard sites (climat). The domaine's current range includes both a premier cru red from Gevrey-Chambertin and a premier cru white from Puligny-Montrachet, Les Combettes, reflecting work across these distinct expressions of Burgundian winemaking.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Meursault is a village appellation in the Côte de Beaune section of Burgundy, France, located between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. The appellation covers approximately 400 hectares of vineyards on the slopes and plateau above the village, with premier cru vineyards including Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, Les Charmes, and Les Gouttes d'Or among others.

The terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils with varying compositions across different vineyard sites. Chardonnay is the predominant grape variety, accounting for the vast majority of plantings, though small amounts of Pinot Noir are also grown. The continental climate features warm summers and cool winters, with the east and southeast-facing slopes providing optimal sun exposure. Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods are employed, typically involving fermentation and aging in oak barrels with varying degrees of new wood depending on the producer's style.

Meursault wines are characterized by their rich, full-bodied style with distinctive nutty and buttery qualities often accompanied by citrus and stone fruit flavors. The wines generally display more power and weight than neighboring appellations like Puligny-Montrachet, with a rounder mouthfeel and less mineral-driven character. Premier cru vineyards tend to produce wines with greater concentration and complexity, while village-level wines offer approachable expressions of the appellation's signature style with good aging potential of 5-10 years.
