Vinous (90-92)
The 2020 Pommard Les Rugiens is 100% whole bunch with 50% new oak, from purchased grapes whereby Anne Parent conducts the picking. It has a ripe black cherry and boysenberry scented bouquet with touches of black pepper and clove. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, quite fleshy and expressive, but here, I am seeking just a little more precision o the finish, like the Les Epenots.Inc. TAX€1,528.54 -

Burghound (91-93)
Outstanding. A much more floral-suffused nose speaks of more elegant aromas of various dark berries, anise and discreet earth wisps. The sleek, intense and precise medium weight flavors possess a beguiling mid-palate texture before concluding in a slightly more complex, balanced and sneaky long finish. Champs Pimont always ages well and there is no reason that this shouldn't do so as well.Inc. TAX€484.79 -
(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (87-89)
The 2018 Beaune Clos de la Féguine 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed and matured in 25% new oak. It has an attractive bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit plus a little earthiness coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins and quite sturdy. The grippy finish suggests that three or four years in bottle will do this no harm. Fine.Inc. TAX€463.67 -

(6x75cl) 2009Vinous (93)
(includes some tiny grapes from old vines in Clos de Beze; 2005 was the last year in which the estate offered separate Chambertin and Clos de Beze bottlings): Medium red. Complex, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, mocha, smoke, dried rose, licorice and menthol. Silky and rather delicate for Chambertin, with exotic cherry liqueur and raspberry flavors lifted by spices and complicated by a saline element. The very long finish features suave tannins and strong stony minerality. Lovely understated Chambertin with the balance to age well.Inc. TAX€4,150.54 -
(3x75cl) 2013Vinous (93+)
Full red. Aromas of medicinal black cherry, licorice and menthol are quite reticent compared to those of the Charmes. Suave and penetrating on the palate, displaying enticing violet lift to the pure aromas of black fruits and game. Firm tannins and strong acidity clamp down on the chiseled, energetic, very long finish, which offers a refined hint of black pepper Juicy, savory Chambertin with nothing hard about it.Inc. TAX€1,573.84 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has quite an understated, elegant bouquet for this vineyard, hints of salted liquorice infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin - an assertive Chambertin that feels strict and, unlike the aromatics, quite penetrating. Yet, I seek a little more nuance and preferably more red fruit towards the finish. It just needs to loosen its tie.Inc. TAX€3,475.98 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed and has a lovely blackberry, briar and mineral-driven bouquet that feels well defined and vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, very grippy tannins that lacquer the mouth. This is a bold, assertive Chambertin; what it needs is a little more nuance and precision toward the finish. Maybe that will evolve with time.Inc. TAX€2,936.63 -

Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru was completely de-stemmed and has an intense bouquet with blackberry, briary, undergrowth and a light floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly peppery opening - in fact, you might be deceived into thinking there were some stems in this Chambertin. Fresh, well defined, this feels quite sustained towards the finish with a touch of spice on the aftertaste.Inc. TAX€3,073.68 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru includes 20% whole bunches this year. It has a slight mintiness on the nose, quite generous if not as complex as the Corton-Bressandes tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, quite strict and fresh with a chalky texture, and a slightly curmudgeonly finish. Give this three to four years in bottle to lighten up.Inc. TAX€889.92 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2018 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is matured with 35% whole bunch and 60% new oak. It has a slightly opaque bouquet, closed and not ready to come out and play at this early stage. The palate is grippy on the entry and quite oaky, and the wood tannins feel a little intrusive toward the finish. Hopefully this will meld together with bottle age, but this year I prefer the Corton-Bressandes tasted alongside.Inc. TAX€915.59 -

This is a captivating Clos Vougeot with a vibrant bouquet and excellent energy. Mulberries, chocolate and smoky minerality flood the palate. Smooth tannins and mouth-watering lift make this a surprisingly accessible Clos Vougeot. These 1 hectare 28 ares of vines sit in the lower portion of the middle section near Ch teau de la Tour. 2024-40Inc. TAX€1,252.54 -

(6x75cl) 2013Burghound (91-93)
A discreet if not invisible application of wood sets off earthy liqueur-like aromas of black raspberry, rose petal and exotic tea scents. There is a sleek muscularity to the bold, powerful and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess fine intensity on the balanced and beautifully persistent finish. This is good stuff as it's Corton-like but elegant.Inc. TAX€878.46 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru contains 40% whole bunches and matures in around 50% new oak. It has quite an elegant bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis and flecks of dark chocolate, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, more masculine than the aromatics suggest, with a saline/briny finish that I personally find attractive. Very fine.Inc. TAX€1,321.68 -
Vinous (91-93)
Matured with 30% whole bunch and aged in 60% new oak, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit and touches of mint and meat juices, all nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good balance and gentle grip. It turns a little savory toward the finish, and a pinch of white pepper and sage lingers on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted Corton that should age with style.Inc. TAX€1,238.63 -

Harvested on Day 1, 30% whole cluster was included and the wine has aged in about 50% new oak. The nose is a touch reserved now, but the palate offers generous forest berries with toast and chocolate influences. Red currants and pomegranates tingle on the lingering, chalkytextured finish. 2024-2035Inc. TAX€882.94 -

(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (92-95)
(from Les Champs Traversins, a very cool lieu-dit in the combe; aging in 60% new oak): Bright, dark red-ruby. Ineffable noble aromas of blackberry, pepper, spices, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Utterly seamless on the palate, with juicy, penetrating flavors of wild dark berries, violet and mint; there's a pungent cassis note here that reminded me of Cabernet. Firm, building tannins carry the fruit through a long, rising finish. The crop level here was just 17 hectoliters per hectare, according to Gublin. This classy wine will age slowly and gracefully. My favorite red wine at Domaine Prieur this year, as it often is.Inc. TAX€3,123.66 -
Vinous (95+)
(13.8%; from 30- and 60+-year-old vines; 3-1/2 barrels made, versus just 1 in 2016): Bright dark red. Sappy, pure aromas of black and red fruits and pungent minerals lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully penetrating and smooth, displaying outstanding intensity and class to its fruit and savory mineral flavors. Offers a compelling combination of velour and weightlessness. Thick and seamless but still youthfully tight, this very pure wine finishes with superb subtle rising length. This very cool site can perform splendidly in hot years like 2015; indeed, the estate harvested these vines at the end, on September 11. But winemaker Gublin noted that the first vintage was 1996 and that the estate has never had a negative surprise, in either cold or hot years. I prefer this wine to the Chambertin for its suavity. And here the terroir (Domaine Prieur's vines are in Les Champs Traversins and Les Poulaillères) dominates the vintage character. A wine of great panache.Inc. TAX€749.48 -
Vinous (90-91)
The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a slightly conservative bouquet with pure dark cherry and cranberry aromas, but does not quite deliver the nuance and complexity of the best wines from this vineyard in 2017. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, but very strict and stoic, tight-lipped towards the finish. Hopefully this will gain more personality once it is in bottle.Inc. TAX€3,010.38 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very intense, almost heady bouquet with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit; a dash of black pepper emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, and very powerful for this vineyard, but it manages to maintain balance. The finish offers great length and satisfying freshness to counterbalance the fruit intensity. This might well be the pick of Prieur’s reds this year.Inc. TAX€3,254.63 -
