Vintage Character Domaine Jacques Prieur Beaune Grèves Premier Cru 2015 is a refined and expressive Burgundy that combines the elegance of Beaune’s finest terroirs with the richness of an exceptional vintage. The 2015 growing season in Burgundy was marked by exceptional sunshine, very low rainfall, and high summer temperatures, leading to an early harvest and wines of great concentration and ripeness. This cuvée comes from a 1.17‑hectare parcel overlooking the town of Beaune, planted on clay‑limestone soils with a predominance of grèves (small pebbles) and sand, which lend finesse and minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it reveals aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, layered with floral notes, spice, and a subtle earthy undertone. The palate is medium to full‑bodied, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish. Its balance of fruit and structure makes it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast duck breast, braised beef cheeks, or a mushroom risotto, offering both charm and depth at the table.
Winery Background Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of Burgundy’s most historic and prestigious estates, with holdings across both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, including some of the region’s most renowned Grand Crus. The domaine is known for its meticulous vineyard management, combining traditional practices with sustainable viticulture to ensure healthy, low‑yielding vines that express their terroir with precision. In the cellar, the approach emphasizes careful sorting, gentle extraction, and élevage in French oak barrels, striking a balance between purity of fruit and layered complexity. The Beaune Grèves Premier Cru exemplifies this philosophy, delivering a wine that is approachable in youth yet capable of graceful aging, making it a benchmark expression of Beaune’s Premier Cru vineyards.
