Domaine, Jacques Prieur

Domaine, Jacques Prieur(from Champ Pimont, Clos de la Fguine and Coucherias ). A touch of matchstick character can be found on the cool and pure aromas of acacia blossom and various white fleshed fruit along with a floral top note. There is both a bit more volume and mid palate density to the more mineral driven flavors that conclude in a more compact and slightly more persistent finale.

hints of star anis

airy and ultra pure nose of mineral-suffused red pinot fruit that is in perfect keeping with the finely detailed

ordered according to growing level of intensity

sweet and also unusually supple for a young Barolo
