"Jacques Prieur's Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2013 presents a nicely defined bouquet, the woodiness gracefully embroidered in raspberry and forest fruit, even a slight scent of lavender makes an appearance after a few minutes. The palate is medium-bodied, with chewy tannins on the attack. It's balanced and edgy towards the finish, with a lingering hint of spice. Good." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16.5/20 (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (High-quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)
About the domain :
Édouard Labruyère's enthusiasm and determination to position this estate as one of the world's great vintages is clear to see. His efforts are evident in the vineyard, which has been organically farmed since 1997, in the cellar, where foudres and demi-muids have made their appearance since 2012, and, crucially, in the glass. With its exceptional range of Grands Crus from 22 hectares of vineyards, including 17 hectares in Côte de Beaune and an exclusive representation of Grands Crus in Côte de Nuits, this estate has all the attributes to join the elite of Burgundy estates.
