WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Jacques Prieur Beaune-Grèves 1er Cru is a distinguished Pinot Noir from a premier vineyard overlooking the historic town of Beaune. Produced by Domaine Jacques Prieur, this wine comes from a 1.17-hectare plot characterized by its unique terroir of clay-limestone soil, rich in small stones and sand. The silica in the soil enhances warmth and light, contributing to the grapes' optimal ripeness and resulting in wines known for their finesse and vibrant fruitiness. The winemaking process is meticulous, with hand-harvested grapes undergoing a 17-day fermentation in open wooden vats, followed by 18 months of aging in 100% oak barrels. The result is a refined, complex wine that captures the essence of its terroir and the craftsmanship of its producer.
