Tasting Notes

The 2023 Le Prieuré is a model of classicism and refinement. Dark, sensual and inviting, Le Prieuré is one of the most refined wines in Saint-Émilion. In recent vintages, it has always been a wine of tension. This iteration includes parcels from the neighboring châteaux, where there is a bit more clay. Consequently, the 2023 has a bit more mid-palate texture than most years, yet it retains its vibrant, saline intensity. I loved it. Tasted two times.

The 2023 Le Prieuré is the first vintage from this estate to incorporate newly acquired parcels in Villemaurine, lending the wine some additional mid-palate amplitude. Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, bay leaf and incense, it's medium-bodied, lively and textural, with a bright spine of acidity that reflects its limestone origins.

The 2023 Le Prieuré, a property where the new winery will come into operation from 2024, was cropped at 35hL/ha between September 9 and 29. It has much more fruit concentration than its stablemate, Vray Croix de Gay: black plum mixed with Provençal herbs and a light ferrous tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a keen line of acidity, remaining fresh and vibrant as it gently fans out toward the composed and satisfying finish. I really like this—a fine Saint-Émilion from winemaker Vincent Millet.
