Description
The 2016 Labruyère-Prieur Sélection Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from the Griotte-Chambertin vineyard, one of the smallest and most respected Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, as is customary for the region, this wine is produced by Domaine Labruyère-Prieur Sélection, which is a collaboration between the Labruyère and Prieur families, both of whom have strong reputations for making top wines.
The Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is located next to some of Burgundy’s most iconic vineyards, including Chambertin and Clos de Bèze. This vineyard has rich, clay-limestone soils, which are essential for delivering wines with deep complexity, refinement, and minerality. The terroir is known for producing wines with great elegance, ripe red fruit, and deep structure.
In the glass, the Labruyère-Prieur Sélection Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is ruby red in color with rich aromas of red and black fruits such as cherries, blackberries and cassis on the nose, combined with earthy tones, herbs and floral hints of violets. The wine has a silky texture with firm, but ripe tannins. You taste layers of ripe fruit, complemented by subtle spices, a mineral undertone, and elegant wood tones from aging in French oak barrels. The finish is long and complex, with a great balance between freshness and concentration.
This wine has enormous ageing potential. Although it can be appealing in its youth, it is likely to develop its full complexity and depth after a few years of maturation. The best drinking period is likely to be between 2024 and 2040, depending on personal preference and storage conditions.

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).
