The 2017 Pierre Gelin Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur is a notable Pinot Noir from Burgundy, specifically the renowned Cote de Nuits sub-region within the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. Produced by Pierre Gelin, this wine carries a 13.8% alcohol content and is sealed with a cork closure.

The 2017 vintage is distinguished by its origin from old vines that consistently yield small berries and low quantities, often leading to a more concentrated flavor profile. This wine is described by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate as "routinely one of the finest wines in the Gelin cellar." In his detailed review, William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the wine an impressive score of 93 points, noting its complex aroma profile that includes "cassis, grilled meats, sweet soil tones and espresso roast." Kelley further describes the wine as "medium to full-bodied, layered and nicely concentrated, with satiny tannins and a deep, reserved core," culminating in a "pure finish."

Wine Spectator also provided a favorable review, scoring the wine at 90 points. Bruce Sanderson from Wine Spectator highlighted the wine's vibrant and juicy nature, emphasizing its "black currant and blackberry fruit flavors." He also pointed out the earth and spicy oak notes that become more evident on the "taut finish." Sanderson suggests that the wine will be at its best from 2022 through 2035, which speaks to its potential for aging.

Only 111 cases of this wine were produced, with 45 cases imported, making it a relatively rare find. For enthusiasts and collectors of Burgundy wines, the 2017 Pierre Gelin Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur presents a balanced and well-reviewed option, with its rich flavor profile and commendable aging potential.
