Gevrey Chambertin, Clos Prieur, 1er Cru, 2018

The 2018 vintage was warm and generous in Burgundy, lending this Clos Prieur a touch more ripeness and roundness than in cooler years, without sacrificing its terroir-driven elegance and precison. The wine is medium-bodied with impressive structure. The tannins are finely grained, firm yet polished, giving a classical Gevrey frame. Juicy red fruit carries the mid-palate, complemented by savory mineral tones and a subtle gamey nuance that adds depth. Acidity is vibrant and well-balanced, bringing lift and precision to the wine's profile.
