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

Isn't she lovely! Has aged very gracefully -- has that lively, acidic backbone; cute little tartaric crystals in the bottom of my glass; rich, golden hue; sweet-seeming petrol-ish nose; cleans up unite well for a bone-dry finish despite its Spätlese status; overall, delighted to be drinking this gem with good friends. — 9 years ago

Reminds me of a Feinherb/Kabinet. A bit of RS, but tons of acidity keeps it in check. Drank much better on night 2 where it showed more besides lime and laserbeams and felt more fleshed out. — 9 years ago

Nose reminds me of a funky chauteau musar. Slight effervescence. Plenty of summer berries - strawberries and blueberries. Viscous mouthfeel. Dry tart finish. Lovely. — 11 years ago
