Prieure Saint-Hippolyte - Languedoc - Blanc
50% Grenache Blanc, 25% Viognier, 25% Vermentino
Nice fresh fruit, dry, Peach, pear, floral, wax, stones.
Not the biggest, baddest, longest aging wine ever, but... a very well made Languedoc Blanc to be enjoyed now, under $15.
Guessing 11-12.5% ABV (label range 11-14), went nicely with an omelette dinner.

Very vegetal on the nose, cool nose. Color very pale in the glass. In time it opens up and some raspberries begin to show. Very similar in characteristic to the vougeraie clos du prieure 2013 drank a couple of days ago. Surprised to read that this producer destems all fruits. I would have called the reverse smelling the wine. — 5 years ago

I was enjoying this too much so forgot to jot down notes. Thought it was a Prieure Roch NSG VV! Friend thinks this could be the second coming of the old William Seylem — 7 years ago

2018 vintage. Another delicious second wine in this vintage. From the small Grand Cru Classé Le Prieuré — 4 years ago
From terrific wine maker Maggie Harrison, a Rosé like no other. It drinks almost like a natural red Burgundy. It reminded me of Prieure Roch Le Cloud or Sylvain Pataille Marsannay. Good depth to it and nicely textured showing a cool minerality, balanced acidity, cherry bubblegum, mandarin orange and a touch of damp earth and Asian spice. I had it left out and off of ice and treated it like a red. Seemed to be the right move as it becomes more expressive the less cold it is. Super unique wine and happy to have finally tried it! Great stuff. — 5 years ago

Wicked wine, but this is no rosé by convention. So dark, and the initial reduction got me thinking of Prieure Roch's Le Cloud. Give it time and it rewards with juicy strawberries... wild strawberries, roses, herbs, pepper, and rocky goodness. Surprising for an 11'. One for the L'Angalore Tavel lover I reckon. Burgundian for sure 😜 — 7 years ago

Vino bianco tannico, come piace a me, più grezzo ma okay! Dopo un po’ nel bicchiere diventa più pulito e mieloso. Vino bianco top !! — 4 years ago
