"Our Clos Prieur parcel is 0.30 hectare and was planted in 1954 with a section replaced in 2003. The Gevrey-Chambertin Premiers Crus are matured in 40% new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins. Its deep and lively cherry red colour reflects the predominance of mostly black and stewed fruit. Its consistent and tender tannins convey sweetness to the palate. Aromas of peppery vanilla and Morello cherry are present. This is a precise wine that offers a silky finish. Serving temperature: 16° to 18°C Matching food: Stuffed capon with ceps, pike-perch with crispy skin." Drouhin-Laroze
"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red and black fruit mixed with truffle and subtle minty aromas that gradually gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, good body and a finely tuned, mineral-rich finish. A touch of spice lingers on the aftertaste. Very fine." Vinous 93p
