Domaine Jacques Prieur : Beaune 1er cru "Champs-Pimont" 2011

The 2011 Premier Cru Beaune Champs-Pimont from Domaine Jacques Prieur is the product of a parcel on the hill rising behind the suburbs of Beaune. These Chardonnay vines, oriented facing east, benefit from chalky soil that guarantees originality and minerality. The 2011 Premier Cru Beaune Champs-Pimont from Domaine Jacques Prieur is aged for 21 months in oak barrels, which only enhances its lovely aromatic bouquet. The luminous green-gold robe highlighted by silver-grey hues yields a delicately spicy and toasty nose. There are also notes of honey and anise, floral notes of acacia and white flowers. The taste is both fresh and energetic. Generous, this finish has a beautiful crisp salinity.
