Tasting notes by L. Michelet« Burgundia Œnologie »
Intense garnet red colour.
A very expressive, mature nose of black fruit with a hint of cherry-stone.
It has a charming, well rounded mouth and tannins of remarkable finesse. A final acidity gives depth and tension to this delicate cuvée. This generous wine will give a maximum of pleasure to the palates of those who like silky Gevrey wines.
Goes well with: confit of lamb shank, roast venison, beef fillet in brioche crust.

Tasting notes by L. Michelet« Burgundia Œnologie »
Intense garnet red colour.
The nose is intense, rich and generous. It is mostly sweet, with precise gingerbread and nutmeg notes. The woody flavour mixes in admirably to give these scents.
The mouth is immediately gourmand. The structure is solid, but the high-quality extracted tannins gives a feeling of crisp flesh. The texture becomes round and silky. A slight fresh tobacco note concludes the final. This vintage, with its spherical appearance, is a model of elegance.
Goes well with: entrecôte with pepper, mallard duck, jugged hare.
Aging potential : 8/10 years

2008 vintage
Tasting notes by L. Michelet « Burgundia Œnologie »
A deep cherry-red colour. The bouquet is subtle, fresh and racy: woody first, then black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant). It has a full, harmonious palate of a remarkable aromatic purity, and smooth, high-quality tannins. A slight animal note brings a different nuance to the finish. It has an excellent lingering finish
Serve with: quail, duck fillet, warm foie gras.

2007 vintage
A deep ruby-red colour.
A discreet nose of spices and undergrowth.
A firm and straight wine on the palate. Aromas of spices and very ripe red and black fruits envelop a firm substance that bodes well for aging.
Ideal with: red meat and game (venison, wild boar)

2003 vintage
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
Wine that displays astonishing keeping potential. With a vivid colour like most of the 2003 vintage, it requires a prolonged time to breathe in order to bring out its intense notes of ripe fruits and spices. Its considerably ample palate is dominated by tannins that are still firm.
Must be kept before serving with meat and gravy or game. (5 to 10 years). Only for patient wine lovers!
Serving temperature: 16°
Preserving: 8/10 years
2002 vintage
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
“This ‘Clos Prieur’ is quite simply magnificent, with its intense ruby robe of perfect brilliance, it just invites you to drink. Its bouquet, of rare complexity, is captivating in its floral and fruit fragrances (peony, blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry …). The palate, underscored by pleasant roasted notes, is not to be outdone. The whole is harmonious and full-bodied: rounded, smooth tannins, sweet. Although it is extremely good to drink now, it would be wise to wait a little longer. Goes well with the best meats.
