Domaine Jacques Prieur - Clos Vougeot Grand Cru - Red - 2019

Wine:

The 2019 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Red is a wine built for patience, having spent nearly two years aging in barrels. Sourced from a 1.28-hectare parcel in the clay-rich area of the Clos, known as Les 14 Journaux, it showcases remarkable power and refinement. The nose evolves beautifully with aeration, revealing notes of tobacco, licorice, and roasted coffee, followed by ripe yet fresh black fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant. On the palate, it strikes a masterful balance between strength and nuance, maturity and freshness, with a refreshing hint of acidity. The finish is long and refined, with delicate, spiced tannins and an appealing savory edge. Exceptional aging potential.
