Decanted for 1.5 hours. It opened up brilliantly. Ruby color with a clear rim and medium viscosity. On the nose it had frank and expressive red fruits, followed by menthol note, rose petals, wet stones and mineral underpinning. You can tell this is a complex and serious wine just by smelling it. On the palate, definitely picking up red fruits, an amazing linear precision and silky mouthfeel on solid tannic structure and a long mineral finish. Dry wine, medium acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol and medium body. Super delicious and a treat! Domaine Jacques Prieur owns a bit less than 1 acres on the upper slope of the 1er Cru Champans that is one of the larger 1er Cru vineyards in the village of Volnay. Grapes are hand harvested, strictly sorted and destemmed. The must will sit on the skins for 19 days prior to fermentation. The wine ages for a total of 17 months in oak barrels.

More robust than a traditional red burgundy. Earthy, tannins.
