Cuvée rated 94/100 by our Committee!

Wine:

The 2019 White Beaune 1er Cru Coucherias is a rare 1er cru, nestled between Grèves and Champs Pimont, just above Clos des Mouches. Replanted in 2012, this limestone terroir now stands alone in this exceptionally noble cuvée. In this vintage, it delivers a pure and precisely crafted juice, with fresh and mentholated aromas, both floral and chalky, subtly infused with oak. The concentrated palate, without excess, perfectly enveloped by its aging process, offers great clarity, a mature and savory ensemble, tailor-made for aging. Rated 94/100 by the Committee.

A prestigious hallmark crowned with the highest critical acclaim, Domaine Jacques Prieur shines at the pinnacle of French viticulture. In fact, it's the only estate to own a third of the grand crus of Côte d’Or...

Its success and reputation are also inextricably linked to Nadine Gublin, the dedicated winemaker since 1990, who has carved out a relentlessly precise and uncompromising style for the estate.

Under the stewardship of the Labruyère family, this historic address in the heart of the Côte de Beaune is arguably experiencing its golden era. Grand both in its array of terroirs and the quality of its wines, the estate is more than just a sure bet: it's a must-have. Managed under organic farming since 1997 (currently in the process of certification), the estate's thirty hectares of vineyards produce grapes of exceptional quality, which are then masterfully vinified. The precision in execution, the perfectly measured aging: nothing is left to chance, and to this exactness is added the personal expression of Nadine Gublin.
