Domaine Jacques Prieur - Meursault AC Clos de Mazeray Blanc (Monopole) 2016

Overview

Terroir: This 6 acre walled vineyard in the heart of Meursault is a monopole for Domaine Jacques Prieur. The vineyard sits in a rather flat position with rich clay soils covering what was once a riverbed.

Vinification: Grapes are hand harvested, strictly sorted and destemmed. The must will sit on the skins for 12 hours to fermentation. The wine ages for 19 months of in oak barrels deep in the cellars of Domaine Jacques Prieur.

Additional Details edit

After a very mild winter and a warm spring weather in the second half of April, the bud break was advanced but the frost with high level or humidity at the end of the month destroyed the parcels with the best exposition. After the frost the vine was developing slowly. Acceleration in growth and the maturity of grapes were possible thanks to very warm and dry summer, with ripening that started quickly by mid-August. The harvest started on 20th September and the sanitary condition of the vineyard was perfect.

Gold with luminous golden and silver reflections. Yellow fruit notes (mirabelle plum, pineapple) evolving with aeration on anise and licorice notes. Tender, generous and delicately embracing with slightly toasted notes on the palate. Tasty and delicately acidulous on the finish.

"(55% of the potential crop was lost to frost): Palish yellow with a green tinge. Lime and flowers on the nose. Dense and spicy in the mouth, still holding a good bit of gas and a bit chunky today as a result. At once saline and crunchy, showing an exotic suggestion of lemon drop and little easy sweetness. Finishes firm."
