The 2020 Clos Prieur Bas bottling is another outstanding villages level wine in the making. The wine delivers a lovely aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis, smoked meats, black minerality, a touch of mustard seed, cedary oak and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very promising, with an excellent core, buried tannins and lovely focus and grip on the long, complex and beautifully balanced finish.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas is lovely, bursting with aromas of raspberries, sweet spices, licorice and petals, framed by creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's supple and seamless, with refined tannins and a bright spine of acidity.- WK

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas has a well defined nose, nicely focused with neatly integrated oak, just a touch of violet merging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, quite mineral driven but it tightens up towards the finish, suggesting it needs several years in bottle. By Neal Martin on November 2022
