Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys Labruyere-Prieur 2013

The wine

Domaine Prieur is not only famous throughout the Burgundy wine region but also in Beaujolais after it was purchased by the Labruyère Family. The wines from the Labruyère-Prieur business, which are chosen for their excellent quality, come from the most beautiful terroirs in all of Burgundy. This goes for both their Pinot Noir and their Chardonnay. The wines are all sold by Domaine Prieur using the same level of quality, the same level of care and the same level of attention as they do with the wines from their own estate.
This Premier Cru, grown in a quality terroir situated in the centre of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, produces an intense, powerful wine which could be described as a testimony to the power of the land that produced it. Its ripe black fruits aromas mixed with the aromas of gingerbread, fresh red fruits and fresh flowers are a sign of a great terroir. This example of magnificence continues after tasting the wine when wild power blends with an angelic sweetness, an indescribable delicacy, and a long finish.
