    Fleshy yet light-footed, this rich red boasts tangy black cherry, smoke and vanilla flavors. Balanced and long, revealing a mineral accent on the firm finish. Best from 2015 through 2021.

Jacques Prieur, France
In the small, select group of legendary Burgundy domaines is one of the finest: the Domaine Jacques Prieur. Founded in 1956, the estate owns unique holdings of vines in no less than five of the mythic appellations of Chambertin, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton-Charlemagne and Montrachet. These prized parcels comprise 20.65 hectares (51 acres) of choice Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, and annual production is a mere 80,000 bottles. In 1988, Antonin Rodet became a major shareholder and the Prieur estate has benefited from the additional financial backing. The style of Jacques Prieur wines is one characterized by opulent, aromatic profiles, rich textures and concentrated flavors. These modern styled wines earn consistently high scores from The Wine Spectator, The Wine Advocate, International Wine Cellar and Burghound.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Cote de Beaune Wine

Cote d'Or, Burgundy

View all products

A classic source of exceptional Chardonnay as well as Pinot Noir, the Côte de Beaune makes up the southern half of the Côte d’Or. Its principal wine-producing villages are Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

The area is named for its own important town of Beaune, which is essentially the center of the Burgundy wine business and where many negociants center their work. Hospices de Beaune, the annual wine auction, is based here as well.
