Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Prieur, 2006

Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Prieur, 2006

The grapes for this bottling come exclusively from the Clos Prieur parcel just below the premier cru of the same name, located just south of the village and slightly down slope from Mazis-Chambertin.  Average vine age is 50 years. From this sector of Gevrey, clay and limestone combine in equal proportion within the soil structure and fashion the most feminine of the Gevrey wines, softly textured and typically expressing the petits fruits rouges one comes to expect from wines from within this commune.

“Not surprisingly, a more elegant nose of red berry fruit laced with hints of the sauvage and warm earth that leads to relatively refined, pure, focused and sweet flavors that possess good energy and finishing punch.”
