Tasting notes
Rich and silky, the tannin structure wrapped in a ton of black-cherry and blackberry fruit, this is a high-end no-brainer. Which red-wine drinker wouldnât find this delicious? Very long, fresh finish with so much energy. Drink or hold.

Aromas of orange rind, red berries, plums, rose petals and raw cocoa preface the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur, a medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly enveloping wine that's lively and refined, with a bright core of fruit and a sapid, mineral finish.
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru comes from purchased fruit and includes 30% whole cluster. It has an attractive bouquet of red plum, blood orange and a light tang of seaweed. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and fine acidity. Fleshy and ripe with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Good body and weight. This is quite a "gutsy" Clos Prieur with good substance.
