Domaine Labruyere Prieur Pommard ‘La Platiere’ Premier Cru 2022

This wine originates from France, within the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy and the Pommard Premier Cru appellation. Sourced through Labruyère-Prieur Sélection, a collaborative high-end négociant arm established between the Labruyère family (owners of Domaine Jacques Prieur since 1988) and long-time enologist Nadine Gublin, the label highlights prestigious Premier Cru climats that complement the core estate holdings. La Platière is situated on mid-to-upper hillside slopes with iron-rich clay and limestone soils. The winemaking philosophy focuses on precise manual sorting, gentle parcel-by-parcel vinification, and thoughtful barrel maturation in French oak to showcase Pommard's classic depth and muscularity alongside aromatic elegance.

Wine Description

This wine displays a deep ruby-purple color. On the nose, it opens with an airy yet concentrated bouquet of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and wild raspberry, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, subtle smoke, and delicately integrated oak spice. On the palate, it exhibits a medium to full body with a vibrant, open texture and a juicy core of dark berry fruit. Fine-grained, polished tannins provide firm structural framing alongside a balancing spine of refreshing acidity, leading to a long, mineral-inflected, and gently chewy finish.

Vintage Quality

The 2022 vintage across Burgundy was an outstanding and generous year, defined by hot, sunny summer weather tempered by periodic, well-timed rainfall. Grapes achieved complete phenolic ripeness without sacrificing freshness. Harvested with ideal physiological maturity, La Platière produced a Pommard characterized by generous fruit expression, refined tannin integration, and significant medium- to long-term cellaring potential.
