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 — 6 years ago

You see the competition, 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Jaques prieure, Chambolle-Musigny 2013. My favorite, Nuits-st-Georges 2009 Les saints Georges, Faiveley, what a lovely wine! Minerality, like rain on slate, soft, velvety tannins, dark fruit. I'm in love 💕 — 9 years ago
very nice. dry but with nice red fruit character. refreshing and perfect for an 80 degree day in February — 9 years ago

yes, yes... pretty delicate - a little smokey but as my friend David taught me - tres bon - tres longue!John Skupny - Lang & Reed Wine Company
David is David Boobbyer...who brought the great vintages and big bottles to our visit to Normandy, our families converge about every five years. Us from Napa, them from the UK.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 😜 — 6 years ago
Not quite as good as Prieure Roch's gamay but still quite fun — 6 years ago

Confidences de Prieure Lichine is the second label of the renown Château Prieure Lichine. This being a 2010, was rather disappointing as it surprisingly still very young. Tasted of dark cherries and plum with a very dry finish. Not as silky and smooth as one might expect a margaux to be. It was worth a try but I will stick to their first label. — 8 years ago
Rich, vibrant fruit. The tannins are already rounded for a 2012 vintage. Very nice. Had it in the tasting room in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and again at dinner at Le Prieure in Villaneuve de Avignon. Very happy with the selection and pairing with the dinner. — 9 years ago

Quite perfumed, airy and ethereal. Reminded me of Domaine de la Cote and Prieure Roch. That biodynamic nose from Premeaux. Pretty floral notes with bright cherries and raspberries. I was surprised when the wine was revealed. Unlike any Heitz Lochardet I've had so far. — 6 years ago
Oxidative nose gives way to a wine of elegance and finesse with some tannins of the finish . Tasted at Atmosphere in Bourget Du Lac France . — 6 years ago
Brought this to a min 1er cru dinner - kinda feel bad for that, but I thought a wine consisting of all of Prieure Roch's best crus would stand tall against the rest. So darn bunchy (perplexing, given how it's made; must ask Yannick). Good, but it wasn't the flower bomb of the 10'
Note from Prieure Roch's website:
There are years where the fickleness of the weather prevent the even ripening of all the grapes on the bunches, and as the grapes cannot be harvested before the stems themselves fully ripen, on these years any extra ripe grapes will detach themselves from the stem while on the “table de tri”(sorting table). Since the traditional Burgundy vinification methods require the grapes to be fermented “entière” (in whole bunches) the loose berries are not used, despite being wonderfully ripe. However, taking all of these loose berries from every vendange, every cuve, permits us to unite all of our best crus and create one “cuvée spéciale”. This “tri” (selection) has in effect been made by the grapes themselves hence the name Pinoterie (Pinot-tri, understand the pun?). Natures choice, ripe voluptuous fruit, sheer pleasure.
Perhaps the most expensive bourgogne out there. Then again, it's a wine featuring a mix of premier cru and grand cru fruit. — 7 years ago
Frederik bought a pallet 5 years ago. Drinking the last 2 bottles. Knokke, Belgium summer 2016. Enjoyed the 2005 in 2016. Still holding up. Still a bit tart on the opening. — 8 years ago
Very nuanced and unexpected. Cool weather and great minerality. A nice turn off the ol beaten path. — 8 years ago
Naso spaziale - come spesso accade con Prieure Roch - agrume rosso, spezie, resina, pepe e una forte componente minerale. Sorso energico, ferroso, di evidente grip tannico. — 9 years ago
