Wine Advocate
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur is also showing well, wafting from the glass with scents of smoky cassis, forest floor and rich soil tones. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with succulent acids and a richer, more muscular profile than the En Jouise. As I’ve written before, the climat of Clos Prieur is classified in both premier cru and at villages level, and Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy own vines in both, fermenting them together—so this cuvée contains about 30% premier cru fruit. 90 Points, William Kelley, Feb 2020
Allen Meadows’ Burghound
A pretty and moderately high-toned nose features notes of wood toast, red cherry, pomegranate and a raspberry where pungent notes of earth and humus remind you that this is Gevrey. The sleek, supple and delicious flavors also retain a lovely sense of delineation that carries over to the attractively mineral-suffused, moderately rustic and slightly firmer finish. 88 Points, January 2020
Food Pairing
A great partner of guinea fowl, chicken, duck, rack of lamb or a simple steak (no heavy sauces. Also good partner with cheeses (not pungent)
