Musigny is one of the most prestigious and expensive Grand Cru vineyards in the entire elite constellation of Burgundy. An elegant wine with 0.77 hectares of Pinot Noir grapes, owned by Domaine Jacques Prieur, with notes of black forest berries, cherries and flowers on the nose. Spices and black pepper are felt in the mouth along with fruity notes. Tannins are fully ripe, silky - providing a long aftertaste and high maturation potential.
Serve at 16-18 °C with game, deer, venison.
The 2014 Musigny Grand Cru has a deep, dark color. The nose is very refined with very good mineralité coming through with aeration, slightly floral. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, a little grainy in texture, very harmonious and very classy -- among the best I have tasted. Not quite as sensual as say, Domaine de la Vougeraie, but perhaps even more tensile. This is an outstanding Musigny.
Jacques Prieur Winery was founded in 1898 in Meursault of the Côte de Beaune subregion of the Burgundy region. It is a winery of the highest reputation, with as many as 9 wines from the Burgundy grand cru vineyards. In addition, Domaine Jacques Prieur is the only winery in all of Burgundy that has its own vineyards in all five legendary appeals: Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Charlemagne and Montrachet. By the way, this winery is next to the Domaine de la Romanée Conti. The winery is currently run by Martin Prieur and Edward Labruyère. The farm winemaker is talented and recognized by Nadine Gublin, named Winemaker of the Year in 1997 by Revue du Vin de France. The old vineyards are responsibly maintained to ensure an impeccable harvest. Berries are harvested separately on each plot, so it is possible to produce characteristic wines. Jacques Prieur wines are seen as an example of modern Burgundy.
