2018 Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru Clos Prieur, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is much more backward and introspective than Mortet's La Perrière. Yet, it is well defined and terroir-driven, crushed stones percolate through the red fruit. Understated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine grip, perhaps a little more extraction compared to its peers. Everything feels well balanced with a brisk and quite spicy, chewy finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

Vinous
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru comes across as one of the most austere at this point in time; it may be entering a sultry stage of its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with quite chalky tannins. An angular Clos Prieur with a slight attenuation toward the pointed finish. I would like to see a little more flesh develop here.
