2014 Domaine Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru
France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Chambolle-Musigny Grand Cru Rouge
Chambolle-Musigny Grand Cru Rouge: This is one of the greatest terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. The vineyard is located on a fault overlooking the Clos Vougeot and bordering on the Combed'Orveau.
Le Musigny has south-east facing sun exposure and a unique, sunny microclimate. The thin, light soil has a high proportion of stones that not only guarantee good drainage, but also store heat in the daytime and release it at night. The grapes are always very ripe and produce a velvety nectar with lovely floral (violet) aromas and an impressively long aftertaste.
Intense ruby red with dark purple reflections. Very subtle featuring dark chocolate, black olive, and blueberry notes evolving with aeration into very elegant floral notes. Round, creamy, and savoury with spicy notes. Very digestible and sapid on the finish with fine tannins.
