Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2023

Not really memorable. No formal notes. Typically I like this producer as he is still reasonable in price. But this rendition did not convince. — 2 months ago

Picked up two cases worth of 2023 1/2 bottles from this producer last week...one case of Gevrey Champonnet, and 6 btls apiece of Gevrey Estournelles and Gevrey Lavaut/St. Jacques. Pricing was, as you said, reasonable, and, unless mistaken, 1er Cru juice.

These are a step up and i am sure they will be good.

Les Boutières Pernand-Vergeless Pinot Noir 2023

2023 vintage. Plummy, substantial body. Decent nose. First two thirds of the experience good but not much of a finish to reign things in currently. Will the cavalry show up? Unsure. Didn't get much of a feel one way or the other. 05.14.25. — 6 months ago

Les Hauts Pruliers Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2020

Good tipicity. Lots of concentrated ripe red and black fruit, but between the hint of barnyard, good oak integration, lower alcohol and elegant body it’s very well restrained and enjoyable. Maybe a bit rustic but very well done  — a year ago

Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2022

2022 vintage. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Bright nose and flavors. Too bright. Needs a solid half-decade to settle in, settle down and leave the night life behind. Could see the ceiling on this as a 9.4 in a decade+. 05.23.25. — 6 months ago
