100% Syrah. Nice red color with enticing aromas of blackberry and pepper. Broad on the palate with a good balance of tannins, likely at its peak. Quite enjoyable. — 7 years ago
Promising nose but somewhat under delivered palate. Ripe strawberry, raspberry jam, bell pepper. I had expected a bit more structure, it was a wee bit flabby. Sortof like a person who is funny on the internet but not as witty in person. But still nice! 🍓🍇🌶 — 9 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. — 9 years ago
Just a kick ass cab franc. Amirault is a very predictable producer and have enjoyed all his wines so far. For the price, it's also a great value - ripe fruit, bit of flint, smoke, and moss, moderate tannins. This has become an everyday excellent dinner wine. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
Yannick is a rock star! We fell in love with his Colombard, and now his Tannat, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet. Check out these wines! — 11 years ago

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. — 7 years ago
A delicious gift from @Matt Waring -- delightful even before the pork salad is on the table. Becky noted cherry, strawberry -- dry, strawberry on the palate! Thanks Matt! — 8 years ago
