2017 Le Prieuré 6 Pack

92 POINTS

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Le Prieure is a little mute to start, offering glimpses at cedar chest and baked cherries notions with nuances of warm plums, pencil shavings and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate has great freshness with bags of bright red and black berries layers and rounded tannins, finishing earthy.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Le Prieure offers up baked blackberries and black cherries with scents of mulberries, spice box and damp earth in the undercurrent. It is decidedly earthy in the mouth with a firm frame of chewy tannins and a dusty earth-laced finish.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

Lushly textured, deep red fruits, licorice, cocoa, flowers and stone create the maquillage. The tannins are soft, polished and round, the garden-fresh fruit is quick to exhibit a sweetness. And in the finish, there is an interesting touch of salt in the tannins that compliments the ripe, red berries.

Jane Anson - Decanter

This has absolutely wonderful richness and freshness with a saline note - I tasted it twice and it impressed even more the second time. It's a real success in the vintage, although it carries the signature of an austere, savoury-fruited year. Undergoing biodynamic conversion over the full 6.24ha, divided into 19 plots on south-facing slopes of the plateau. Jean Claude Berrouet consults.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Fine tannins and ripe fruit are strong elements in this complex wine. With a solid, dense texture, juicy acidity and a dark core of tannins, it is a wine that will age, so hold until 2023.

An impressive barrel sample, the 2017 Château Le Prieure is loaded with ripe cherry and raspberry fruits, has a rounded, supple, sexy texture, sweet tannin, and a great finish. It's a seductive, pleasure-bent beauty. Drink it over the coming 5-7 years.

Oak sits up a little on the nose, adding chocolate and slightly tarry notes to the redder fruit. The palate is smoothly arranged and quite fresh fruit builds nicely to an expansive, plum-stone finish.
