Over het wijnhuis | Château Le Prieuré heeft een geschiedenis die teruggaat naar 1696, al ging het toen door het leven onder de naam Cru des Cordeliers. Sinds 2021 is het in handen van Les Terroirs de Suravenir, een Franse verzekeringsmaatschappij die ook Château Calon-Ségur in Saint-Estèphe, Château Vray Croix de Gay in Pomerol, Château Siaurac in Lalande-de-Pomerol bezit. Château Le Prieuré is aan de rechteroever te vinden, in Saint-Émilion om precies te zijn. De wijngaarden liggen op een steenworp afstand van Château Trotte Vieille en Château Pavie Macquin. |

Awards | "Aromas of fresh blackberries, plums, black tea and dried violets. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Polished and tight. Pretty sweet-tobacco and light balsamic aftertaste. Try from 2023." - James Suckling "The 2018 Le Prieuré is all class, just as it was en primeur. Silky, perfumed and light on its feet, the 2018 is a fabulous example of how refined Saint-Émilion can be. Once again, I am so impressed by the wine's freshness and vitality. Sweet red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint and cinnamon all build over time, but what stands out most is the wine's exceptional balance and harmony. Technical Director Penelope Godefroy has done a magnificent job at Le Prieuré since taking over a few years ago. The 2018 is superb, and an incredible value." - Vinous "Raspberry and redcurrant fruits sit against attractive white pepper and saffron spice. This has a more subtle overall approach than some. Clear limestone influence, gentle and sappy, and extremely attractive. Great work from winemaker Penelope Godefroy. Under new ownership as of 2020, with the owners of Calon-Ségur moving in, so this 2018 will be the last made from start to finish under the Artémis Estates team. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040" - Decanter |
