Chambertin, produced from vines planted on gentle slopes, is the grand seigneur of Burgundy wines and Napoleon's favourite. The soil contains limestone and is rich in ferruginous marls. Domaine Jacques Prieur is one of the few lucky vine owners in this prestigious grand cru. It is a dense wine with powerful tannins. It neds to be aged for at least 10 to 15 years to express its full potential.
