The airy, cool and restrained nose is wonderfully pure with its essence of green apple, acacia blossom, wet stone and discreet spice and chalk whiffs. The tautly muscular big-bodied flavors are blessed with both an abundance of dry extract as well as almost painful intensity before culminating in a stony, balanced and once again hugely long finish. This beauty is one the best examples of 2017 Corton-Charlemagne. - AM
Domaine Jacques Prieur is a relatively large Burgundy producer that makes both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from esteemed vineyard holdings across the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune. The history of the domaine began in the 1860s, with the marriage of Claude Duvergey and Marie Taboureau. They first established the wine and spirits merchant business, Duvergey-Taboureau House, before buying property in Meursault ??now the site of the modern Jacques Priuer daomine. Beginning in the late 1800s and continuing into the 20th Century, the family began investing in viticulture and purchasing vineyards, establishing vines in what have become some of the most sought after appellations in the Cote d'Or.
