View From The Cellar, November 2014

91+ In contrast to the grumpy Vieilles Vignes bottling, the 2013 Clos Prieur from the Harmands was very much on form and showing lovely potential at the time of my visit. As reader will recall, this is a blend of a parcel...

The 2013 Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region in France. This wine hails from the Cote de Nuits sub-region, specifically the Gevrey Chambertin appellation, and the Clos Prieur Bas sub-appellation. Produced by Harmand-Geoffroy, this red wine is notable for its traditional cork closure and an alcohol content of 13%.

John Gilman of "View From The Cellar" reviewed this wine on November 1, 2014, awarding it a score of 91. Gilman’s review is notably positive, highlighting the wine's potential and quality. He notes that the 2013 Clos Prieur was "very much on form and showing lovely potential" during his visit. The wine is a blend from a parcel in the premier cru section of the vineyard and a couple of very old vine parcels in the villages section. Although officially a Gevrey AC bottling, Gilman asserts that in 2013, it is "clearly of premier cru quality."

Gilman provides a detailed description of the bouquet, describing it as "a sappy and complex blend of black cherries, sweet dark berries, grilled meats, coffee bean, a lovely base of dark soil tones and vanillin oak." On the palate, the wine is noted for being "pure, full-bodied" with "excellent mid-palate depth." The focus and grip of the wine are praised, along with its "fine soil inflection and a long, suavely-tannic and complex finish."

In summary, the 2013 Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur is a high-quality Pinot Noir that exhibits characteristics akin to premier cru wines. Its complex bouquet and depth on the palate make it a notable choice for those looking for a wine with both elegance and substance. John Gilman's detailed and positive review underscores the wine's potential and excellent craftsmanship.
