Jean-Michel Maurice Domaine du Prieure 'Les Gollardes' Pinot Noir, Savigny-les-Beaune, France
Sold out
Nestled at the gateway of Savigny-les-Beaune lies Domaine du Prieure, a beacon of winemaking tradition and innovation since 1921. Under the watchful guidance of Stephan Maurice, a torch passed down from Jean-Michel, the estate's wines have become synonymous with depth, elegance, and refinement. The transition to organic viticulture in Spring 2019 marks a new chapter in their storied history, promising wines that reflect the Maurice family's passion and their commitment to sustainability and the land's health.
Les Gollardes: A Pinot Noir Symphony
From the esteemed "Les Gollardes" parcel, this 2018 Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance and terroir expression. Cultivated on a modest 1.9-acre plot at 280 meters elevation, the 52-year-old vines yield a limited 400 cases, embodying the meticulous care and attention bestowed upon them. The gravelly soil, enriched with oolitic ironstone, imbues the grapes with a unique mineral complexity, while the conscientious vinification process—complete destemming, cold soaking, and careful oak maturation—ensures a wine of unparalleled depth and character.
Tasting Journey: The Essence of "Les Gollardes"
Adorned in light ruby, "Les Gollardes" 2018 invites a contemplative exploration of its incredible, restrained aromas. Notes of red and dark currant mingle with earthy undertones and a whisper of humus, setting the stage for a vibrant and supple palate. The rich and round flavors culminate in a finish that, while slightly warm, leaves a lasting impression of refined sophistication.
Pairing Perfection: Culinary Companions
This Savory and Classic Pinot Noir finds its match in dishes that echo its complexity and grace:
- Beef Carpaccio: An Italian masterpiece, the delicate beef fillet, paired with rocket and parmesan mayonnaise, mirrors the wine's subtle elegance.
- Pheasant with Bread Sauce: A traditional British fare, enhancing the wine's earthy notes and vibrant character.
- Fillet Steak in Brioche: A French delicacy that complements the wine's depth and refined tannins.
- Osso Bucco: The Italian classic, with braised veal shank and white wine, resonates with the wine's layered complexity and rich finish.
A Testament to Time and Tradition
The 2018 Domaine du Prieure "Les Gollardes" Pinot Noir is a testament to the Maurice family's dedication to their craft, the Savigny-les-Beaune terroir, and Burgundy's wines' timeless appeal. Each bottle is a journey through the rich history and vibrant future of Domaine du Prieure, inviting connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike to discover the profound, refined, and elegant character of this exceptional Pinot Noir.
