Description

Tasting notes for the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "La Combe d'Orveau" 2006 - Jacques Prieur

EYE: The wine wears its brightest and deepest ruby red robe in the glass. This dark color evokes this cuvée's maturity and concentration. Visually, it appears luminous and clear, confirming the quality of the vintage.
NOSE: A complex yet enthralling aromatic palette. Aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherry and strawberry take the forefront, followed by deeper notes of raspberry and blackcurrant. This first nose is accompanied by delicate floral nuances, evoking violet and rose, adding an elegant and perfumed dimension. Subtle spicy notes and hints of undergrowth can also be detected.
MOUTH: This Chambolle-Musigny distinguishes itself with finesse and balance. The attack is elegant, with silky tannins caressing the palate. Intense flavors of ripe red fruits are complemented by notes of licorice and sweet tobacco. Subtle minerality and well-balanced acidity bring a welcomed freshness that enlivens the whole. The finish is long, harmonious, and leaves a lasting impression after the tasting session.

In short: This Chambolle-Musigny 1st Cru "La Combe d'Orveau" 2006 from the Domaine Jacques Prieur is a great Burgundy wine, impressively elegant and possessing excellent aging potential. It can be stored in the cellar for another 10 to 15 years, or even more. Over time, it will continue to evolve, gaining more complexity and subtlety. It pairs beautifully with gourmet dishes such as beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, or stuffed guinea fowl.

Domaine Jacques Prieur

A huge collection of Burgundy appellations

Claude Duvergey and Marie Taboureau founded the Meursault estate in 1865. At first a simple trading house, it gradually turned into a real wine estate in 1879, when the couple bought the "Propriété des Herbeux". Before Claude's death in 1920, the couple left everything they had (including the many grape vines they acquired throughout their lives) to Hélène Taboureau, who was Marie's niece, and her son: Jacques Prieur. The latter would become the future cofounder of the 1924 Paulée of Meursault (with the help of the Count Jules Lafon), as well as one of the founding members of the "Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin". He gave his name to the estate in 1965, giving birth to the current Domaine Jacques Prieur.

The main strength of the estate is the incredible selection of appellations available. Since its creation, the Domaine Jacques Prieur managed to accumulate a huge collection of parcels located on the Côte d'Or (which includes the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune). In total, 9 grands crus and 14 premiers crus can be found in the estate's catalog. Here, you can find big names such as Corton-Charlemagne, Montrachet, Chambertin, Volnay-Santenots, Musigny, Clos-de-Vougeot and many others.

In 1988, part of the estate was sold to an investment firm led by Jean-Pierre Labruyère, the man behind the Champion supermarkets. Nowadays, Daniel Godefroy is in charge of the 21 hectares vineyard. Thanks to his hard work and the acumen of Jean-Pierre, the terroir has become priority number one, which obviously led to a total conversion to organic winemaking. Today, the Domaine Jacques Prieur is owned by both the Labruyère family and the descendants of the Prieur family. It produces wines with a strong pedigree, containing the very soul of each Burgundy climate.
