Alluring yellow fruit and citrus aromas with some minerality that opens to well-balanced and juicy flavors on the tongue. A bit of a bite on the finish. Best served chilled. — 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. — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. Tasting with Yannick at The Domaine. Pale garnet hue. On the nose, smoky, reductive, savoury, plush black plums. Spicy. Interesting. On the palate, medium plus acidity and medium tannins - plush, medium body and medium plus concentration. Energetic and tense. Nothing round here. Good finish, with some tartness on the back of the palate. Not really my style of Burgundy but interesting. — 9 years ago

Great wine to pair with a multi-dish dinner. We had a mix of heavy and light dishes at the table and this held its ground for the beef and harmonized with the lighter means. — 9 years ago
