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
@Mesa in Zurich - the wine has lovely expression of fresh fruits, with pomegranate and cranberry accents, on a slightly spicy background. — 5 years ago
Cidery funky fresh extended skin contact Pinot Gris and Terret blend. Super yummy. Hazy. By the glass at Diner... didn’t catch vintage but so good with fried maitakes. — 5 years ago

Have you ever tasted a wine that you would be fully prepared to enter into a mutually exclusive relationship with? This wine would be like the withholding partner who, when they showed up, literally charmed the pants off of you. I’d be willing to sister wife this wine with @Amy Pelletier Beck @Jamie Anderson @antonia dorans the best of the penis anus wines thus far! — 6 years ago
Totally delicious, sweet, light. Everything you would expect from a Brut champagne. Compare with Moët. Will add this to my favorites! — 7 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the côte 50. Lovely purity and vivid fruit, and a solid value at €12. Crunchy red fruits and a leafy twang on the palate lead to a gravelly finish. Smoothed out over the course of 3 days being open. 👍👌 — 4 years ago
