Jacques Prieur Echezaux Grand Cru 2018

Estate History

Established in 1868, **Domaine Jacques Prieur** is one of Burgundy’s rare domaines with vineyard holdings across both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits Grands Crus. The **Échezeaux Grand Cru**, located in the heart of the Vosne-Romanée appellation, stands out for its balance between power, finesse, and aromatic complexity — a signature of this historic climat.

Terroir

The **Échezeaux Grand Cru** vineyard lies just below Clos de Vougeot on well-drained clay-limestone soils. With its southeast exposure and gentle slopes, the site allows the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve perfect ripeness, delivering wines of depth, structure, and remarkable elegance.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red color with bright reflections. The nose is expressive and complex, offering aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet, and sweet spices with a touch of undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is rich and silky, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, elegant finish enhanced by mineral nuances and floral notes.

A refined and structured Échezeaux Grand Cru — combining aromatic richness, balance, and aging potential, crafted with precision by Domaine Jacques Prieur.

Pairing

Perfect with duck breast, roast lamb, venison, or aged cheeses like Comté and Époisses. Also ideal for special occasions and cellaring.
