Tim Atkin MW (95)This is a captivating Clos Vougeot with a vibrant bouquet and excellent energy. Mulberries, chocolate and smoky minerality flood the palate. Smooth tannins and mouth-watering lift make this a surprisingly accessible Clos Vougeot. These 1 hectare 28 ares of vines sit in the lower portion of the middle section near Ch teau de la Tour. 2024-40 |

Vinous (91-93)Matured with 30% whole bunch and aged in 60% new oak, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit and touches of mint and meat juices, all nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good balance and gentle grip. It turns a little savory toward the finish, and a pinch of white pepper and sage lingers on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted Corton that should age with style. |

Tim Atkin MW (94)Harvested on Day 1, 30% whole cluster was included and the wine has aged in about 50% new oak. The nose is a touch reserved now, but the palate offers generous forest berries with toast and chocolate influences. Red currants and pomegranates tingle on the lingering, chalkytextured finish. 2024-2035 |

Vinous (92-94)(harvested on September 12, with potential alcohol of 12.8%; from an east-facing, cool site at the top of the hill, just under the trees, where phenolic maturity usually comes before sugar ripeness): Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pungent, raw aromas of crushed stone, pepper, truffle and earth: very white soil in character. The impression of rawness continues on the tight, leanish palate, which offers pure flavors of crushed stone, pepper and saline minerality. With less stuffing here than the Montrachet, this penetrating, soil-driven wine comes across as austere. But its lingering perfume suggests that it will reward extended cellaring. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)These old vines sit up against the woods on the Ladoix side, so this is typically later in the succession of picking dates chez Prieur. It's hard to find Corton this delectable and charming, especially so young. The vintage shines through beautifully here. The wine blazes with pure yellow fruits, oyster shell and puff pastry. Its delicious, robust core is nicely defined by bracing acidity. 2023-38 |

Vinous (95+)(13.8%; from 30- and 60+-year-old vines; 3-1/2 barrels made, versus just 1 in 2016): Bright dark red. Sappy, pure aromas of black and red fruits and pungent minerals lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully penetrating and smooth, displaying outstanding intensity and class to its fruit and savory mineral flavors. Offers a compelling combination of velour and weightlessness. Thick and seamless but still youthfully tight, this very pure wine finishes with superb subtle rising length. This very cool site can perform splendidly in hot years like 2015; indeed, the estate harvested these vines at the end, on September 11. But winemaker Gublin noted that the first vintage was 1996 and that the estate has never had a negative surprise, in either cold or hot years. I prefer this wine to the Chambertin for its suavity. And here the terroir (Domaine Prieur's vines are in Les Champs Traversins and Les Poulaillères) dominates the vintage character. A wine of great panache. |

Vinous (90-91)The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a slightly conservative bouquet with pure dark cherry and cranberry aromas, but does not quite deliver the nuance and complexity of the best wines from this vineyard in 2017. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, but very strict and stoic, tight-lipped towards the finish. Hopefully this will gain more personality once it is in bottle. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very intense, almost heady bouquet with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit; a dash of black pepper emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, and very powerful for this vineyard, but it manages to maintain balance. The finish offers great length and satisfying freshness to counterbalance the fruit intensity. This might well be the pick of Prieur’s reds this year. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the 23-year-old vines within Chambertin Grand Cru and is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined, focused bouquet of vivid black and red fruit laced with crushed stone and light earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a little saline in the mouth, and gently grippy toward the finish. It feels tight at the moment, showing a little force on the finish rather than a natural flow, but it should mellow with time. |
