The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur includes around 25% new oak and 60% whole bunch fruit. This was not touched by the frost, so it recorded a normal harvest. It has a perfumed and quite floral bouquet, slightly darker fruit than the Combottes, nicely defined with a subtle oyster shell influence coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fleshy and clearly with more depth and "rondeur" than the Combottes. There is fine tension here, quite precise, not long but there is satisfying depth and presence.
