The estate and the wine |
|
|
Renowned for its prestige and crowned with the highest critical acclaim, Domaine Jacques Prieur stands among the stars of French winemaking. Its success and reputation are inseparable from Nadine Gublin, the esteemed winemaker since 1990, who has crafted a formidable style—precise and uncompromising.
Beloved by many, this estate's wines are quickly snapped up and often sell out rapidly. Fortunately, in 2013, another high-end venture emerged: Labruyère-Prieur, still under the guidance of Nadine Gublin and embracing the same standards of excellence as the historic house. With meticulous execution and perfectly judged aging, nothing is left to chance. To this precision, Nadine Gublin always adds her personal touch. |

The 2016 red Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a standout wine from one of Burgundy’s finest slopes, rooted in hard rock terroir. Made from fully destemmed Pinot Noir and aged in oak barrels with 50% new oak, it boasts a solid and rich profile. The nose unfolds with complex aromas of tobacco, leather, and coffee, backed by notes of dark fruit and a subtle smoky hint. On the palate, these flavors continue with cassis, black cherry, and peppery spices woven into a textured structure that has begun to soften, with tannins releasing just a touch. This is a superb wine to cellar, now beginning to reveal its refined character. |
