Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru - Clos Prieur 2020

located in the north of the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin is world-famous, not only for its superlative Grand Crus, but also for all its other vineyards. On the south part of the village, the Clos Prieur is close to Mazis-Chambertin.

Gevrey is of course the village where the Grand Cru vineyard Chambertin is located. Vines have been cultivated here since 630AD, when a certain Bertin decided to emulate the monks, his neighbours. The wine he made turned out to be spectacular - and the rest is history!

The "Clos Prieur" belonged to the Prieurs de Cluny who used to live in the old castle of Gevrey.

"The wine shows a beautilul deep garnet colour.

The nose exudes intense scents of candied black fruits.

On the palate, aromas of Morello cherry mingle with hints of vanilla, and the soft tannins offer a nice silky texture. Very long aftertaste".
