2017 Domaine Jacques Prieur Beaune 1er Cru Champs Pimont

France / Burgundy / Cote de Beaune / Beaune Premier Cru Blanc

Beaune Premier Cru. This is the fourth most highly rated Beaune Champs Pimont wine (based on critic scores).

Green gold with silver reflections. Elegant, with a touch of anis and toasted notes. Warm, embracing, spicy and marked by a beautiful refreshing sapidity. Very salivating on the finish.

A large plot with the evocative name of "Les Champs au pied du Mont" (or "The Fields at the Foot of the Mountain"), located on the slope overlooking the outskirts of Beaune. This vineyard, facing due east, produces both red and white wine.
Chardonnay is planted on the upper part of the slope with chalky soil that gives its mineral characteristics and unique personality. There is also often a salty flavor on the aftertaste.
