Very nuanced and unexpected. Cool weather and great minerality. A nice turn off the ol beaten path. — 9 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. — 10 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. — 9 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 💕 — 10 years ago
Delicious! Fresh strawberries and medium acid; very refreshing — 11 years ago

Very lean, too much so for me without food. Worked nicely with some charcuterie. — 9 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. — 10 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. — 8 years ago
