The Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Clos Prieur comes from a historic terroir located south of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, close to the famous Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru. Clos Prieur takes its name from the Priors of Cluny, who once owned the vineyard and occupied the old château of Gevrey. Its relatively deep and compact marly soils produce a generous and refined Pinot Noir, combining aromatic intensity, silky texture and remarkable length.

Appearance: Beautiful, deep and intense garnet colour.

Nose: Expressive and generous, with intense aromas of candied black fruits.

Palate: Generous and elegant, with attractive sour cherry flavours complemented by delicate hints of vanilla. Soft, refined tannins create a beautifully silky texture, leading to a long and harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Ideal with beef fillet, duck breast, roast pigeon, venison fillet, feathered game, mushroom-based dishes or mature cheeses.
