Rich red-cherry fruit and ambition. Still quite astringent, but the fruit quality is convincing. Long. No bargain though. (JR)
Aromas of cassis, plums, red fruits and spices introduce the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur, a medium to full-bodied, lively wine that's one of the firmer, more youthfully structured cuvées in the Drouhin range this year. It will reward a bit of patience.
Rich purple, with evidently riper fruit. The suavity of the fruit is gorgeous, a dense almost plummy raspberry, this is a Clos Prieur with more stuffing than one sometimes finds in this vineyard. A crispness to the finish, to keep it honest.
