Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is a little more feisty on the nose with cranberry and wild strawberry scents and a very subtle metallic edge that does not detract from the overall aromatics. The palate offers sour cherry and a touch of brine on the entry, quite Morey-like in style with a structured slightly unyielding finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle to shave those edges. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru (which underwent a later malo than others) is much earthier on the nose than its peers, without the fruit concentration of the Combottes - a little sultry. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, a bit "rigid" compared to others. Racking will assist, but I have to be prudent with more evaluation here.
