Description
After an exceptionally mild winter, the vines quickly started growing again and the first buds burst on 25 March. Thanks to a generous amount of sunshine and high temperatures in the spring, the vineyard developed quickly and the first flowers appeared on 12 May. Flowering was rapid and finished completely on 26 May. The heat set in for the summer and ripening began in early July. The heat waves in late July and mid-August, as well as the lack of water, did not slow down the ripening of the grapes, which on the contrary progressed very quickly. The harvest began at Domaine Jacques Prieur on 20 August with Pinot Noir grapes from the Côte de Beaune and ended on 2 September, an unprecedented earliness.
The grapes were perfectly healthy, with excellent ripeness and high acidity, which can be explained by the concentration that occurred at the end of the ripening cycle under the influence of a warm wind from the south and high temperatures.
The Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru is a 100% Pinot Noir on a plot of 0.76 hectares. Musigny Grand Cru is one of the best terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. The vineyard is located on a fault line overlooking the Clos Vougeot and borders the Combe d'Orveau. Le Musigny has a south-eastern sun exposure and a unique, sunny microclimate. The thin, light soil has a high proportion of stones that not only ensure good drainage, but also store heat during the day and release it again at night. The grapes are always very ripe and produce a velvety nectar with beautiful floral (violet) aromas and an impressively long aftertaste.
VINIFICATION & AGEING The grapes were hand-picked into small crates, then sorted and completely destemmed. The wine remained on the skins for 19 days in temperature-controlled open oak barrels. Pigeage (submerging of the cap) was carried out twice a day during the alcoholic fermentation. 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was fully matured in oak barrels. Duration of barrel maturation: 19 months
- COLOUR: Intense ruby red with a clear purple sheen.
- NOSE: Finesse and elegance. Ethereal, beautiful floral notes (violets, rose petals).
- TASTE: Tasty, small berries, appetizing toastiness. Fine and silky tannins. Very pleasant drinkability in the aftertaste.

From: Dance the Quickstep: Burgundy 2020 (Dec 2021)
The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed and like the Chambertin, you might infer that there are some stems in the blend due to its subtle pepperiness and tertiary notes that combine beautifully with the perfumed black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit framed by quite fine tannins. Good length and depth, closing in a little towards the finish. Give this Musigny several years, preferably a decade in bottle.

Based in Meursault since the 19th century, Domaine Jacques Prieur boasts one of the finest collections of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in existence. Its 21 hectares of vineyards (11 ha of Pinot Noir and 10 ha of Chardonnay) include many prestigious terroirs, such as Grands Crus Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, Corton-Bressandes, Echézeaux, Clos Vougeot, Musigny, Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze. That's a third of Burgundy's Grands Crus appellations.
Fourteen Premiers Crus complete this magnificent collection spread across Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Nine grands crus, fourteen premiers crus, three crus monopoles, a true pearl necklace.
Today, the Labruyère family is at the helm of this jewel of Burgundy, as well as owners of Château Rouget in Pomerol and Domaine Labruyère in Moulin-à -Vent. They work daily to make the most of this prestigious heritage. They are assisted by Martin Prieur, grandson of Jacques Prieur, who has lived and worked on the estate with his family since 1990. Now responsible, together with Edouard Labruyère, for the marketing of the Domaine's wines, Martin Prieur represents the link between past and present, because no one knows the history of the Domaine and its vineyards as well as he does. Under the leadership of Daniel Godefroy, an experienced vineyard manager who knows each plot inside out, the Domaine has been following a "viticulture raisonnée" approach for many years. The work in the winery and cellar is supervised by the excellent oenologist Nadine Gublin. An expert in thoughtful and precise interventions in the winemaking process, she was awarded the title of Winemaker of the Year by the Revue du Vin de France in 1998.
Domaine Jacques Prieur produces white and red wines that are powerful and flavorful, figureheads of the great modern Burgundy, and is made entirely of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus (with the exception of Clos de Mazeray in Meursault, Monopole and emblematic Village Appellation).
