The Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru "Clos Prieur" produced by the renowned Jacques Rossignol winery is an emblematic example of Burgundy, a region celebrated for its red wines made from Pinot Noir with exceptional depth and complexity. This wine comes specifically from a highly respected plot, the "Clos Prieur," known for its limestone and clay soil that imparts extraordinary minerality and a well-defined tannic structure to the wine.
The grape harvest is meticulously managed to ensure optimal ripeness and fruit concentration, followed by traditional fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, which bestows the wine with a subtle hint of new wood. This process contributes to a rich aromatic profile, with distinctive notes of blackberry, ripe cherry, and a touch of earthy spices like black pepper and nutmeg, complemented by undertones of vanilla and roasted coffee.
On the palate, "Clos Prieur" stands out for its robust tannic structure and vibrant acidity, promising excellent aging potential. Layers of dense red fruit and spicy nuances blend into a long, persistently aromatic finish, making this wine an ideal companion for rich meat dishes such as beef stew or lamb, as well as classic pairings with aged cheeses.
The Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru "Clos Prieur" by Jacques Rossignol is, without a doubt, a precious choice for connoisseurs who wish to explore the depth and history of Burgundy's great wines.
