(6x75cl) 2013Wine Spectator (92)
The wild black currant aroma is intense, backed by flavors of macerated black cherry, oak spice and iron. The tannins are formidable, making this seem relatively closed as the finish lingers. A concentrated red. Best from 2020 through 2034.HK$5,835.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (90-92)
The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru contains 40% whole bunches and matures in around 50% new oak. It has quite an elegant bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis and flecks of dark chocolate, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, more masculine than the aromatics suggest, with a saline/briny finish that I personally find attractive. Very fine.HK$9,030.00 -
Vinous (91-93)
Matured with 30% whole bunch and aged in 60% new oak, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit and touches of mint and meat juices, all nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good balance and gentle grip. It turns a little savory toward the finish, and a pinch of white pepper and sage lingers on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted Corton that should age with style.HK$9,330.00 -

Harvested on Day 1, 30% whole cluster was included and the wine has aged in about 50% new oak. The nose is a touch reserved now, but the palate offers generous forest berries with toast and chocolate influences. Red currants and pomegranates tingle on the lingering, chalkytextured finish. 2024-2035HK$6,370.00 -

(6x75cl) 2007Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94)
(in barrel) Bright yellow. Lemon, lime, menthol and mint on the nose. Dense and sappy, with pungent minerality and captivating sugar/acid cut. Finishes with a strong flavor of crushed stone. Offers terrific potential.HK$23,180.00 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous (92-94)
(harvested on September 12, with potential alcohol of 12.8%; from an east-facing, cool site at the top of the hill, just under the trees, where phenolic maturity usually comes before sugar ripeness): Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pungent, raw aromas of crushed stone, pepper, truffle and earth: very white soil in character. The impression of rawness continues on the tight, leanish palate, which offers pure flavors of crushed stone, pepper and saline minerality. With less stuffing here than the Montrachet, this penetrating, soil-driven wine comes across as austere. But its lingering perfume suggests that it will reward extended cellaring.HK$18,790.00 -

These old vines sit up against the woods on the Ladoix side, so this is typically later in the succession of picking dates chez Prieur. It's hard to find Corton this delectable and charming, especially so young. The vintage shines through beautifully here. The wine blazes with pure yellow fruits, oyster shell and puff pastry. Its delicious, robust core is nicely defined by bracing acidity. 2023-38HK$19,930.00 -
(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (92-95)
(from Les Champs Traversins, a very cool lieu-dit in the combe; aging in 60% new oak): Bright, dark red-ruby. Ineffable noble aromas of blackberry, pepper, spices, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Utterly seamless on the palate, with juicy, penetrating flavors of wild dark berries, violet and mint; there's a pungent cassis note here that reminded me of Cabernet. Firm, building tannins carry the fruit through a long, rising finish. The crop level here was just 17 hectoliters per hectare, according to Gublin. This classy wine will age slowly and gracefully. My favorite red wine at Domaine Prieur this year, as it often is.HK$21,235.00 -
Vinous (95+)
(13.8%; from 30- and 60+-year-old vines; 3-1/2 barrels made, versus just 1 in 2016): Bright dark red. Sappy, pure aromas of black and red fruits and pungent minerals lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully penetrating and smooth, displaying outstanding intensity and class to its fruit and savory mineral flavors. Offers a compelling combination of velour and weightlessness. Thick and seamless but still youthfully tight, this very pure wine finishes with superb subtle rising length. This very cool site can perform splendidly in hot years like 2015; indeed, the estate harvested these vines at the end, on September 11. But winemaker Gublin noted that the first vintage was 1996 and that the estate has never had a negative surprise, in either cold or hot years. I prefer this wine to the Chambertin for its suavity. And here the terroir (Domaine Prieur's vines are in Les Champs Traversins and Les Poulaillères) dominates the vintage character. A wine of great panache.HK$5,710.00 -

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed. It has a slightly conservative bouquet with pure dark cherry and cranberry aromas, but does not quite deliver the nuance and complexity of the best wines from this vineyard in 2017. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, but very strict and stoic, tight-lipped towards the finish. Hopefully this will gain more personality once it is in bottle.HK$23,065.00 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru, which is completely de-stemmed, has a very intense, almost heady bouquet with layers of black cherry and cassis fruit; a dash of black pepper emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, and very powerful for this vineyard, but it manages to maintain balance. The finish offers great length and satisfying freshness to counterbalance the fruit intensity. This might well be the pick of Prieur’s reds this year.HK$24,720.00 -

(6x75cl) 2020Tim Atkin MW (95)
This comes from Champs Traversins next to Domaine de la Roman e-Conti's vines. Bright on the nose with licorice, raspberry coulis and red cherry preserves, this is ravishing. Youthful with sensuous, supple fruits, polished tannins and refreshing acidity, this will be delightful early on but also have staying power. Cellar Master Romain Pertuzot aptly described it as "radiant". 2023-35HK$32,735.00 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the 23-year-old vines within Chambertin Grand Cru and is completely de-stemmed. It has a well-defined, focused bouquet of vivid black and red fruit laced with crushed stone and light earthy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a little saline in the mouth, and gently grippy toward the finish. It feels tight at the moment, showing a little force on the finish rather than a natural flow, but it should mellow with time.HK$6,555.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous (89-91)
The 2020 Meursault Clos de Mazeray Blanc has a nicely detailed bouquet with jasmine and white flower scents complementing the citrus fruit. I find this more complex than the Beaune Blancs. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, hints of tangerine and spice with quite a persistent finish. Enjoy this over the next decade. Closure: DiamHK$5,695.00 -

(6x75cl) 1999Vinous (91-93)
(this wine finished its sugar fermentation in December of 2000, with three grams remaining). Cool aromas of liquid stone, hazelnut and spice. Very intense, austere and powerful, with the lovely touch of sweetness balanced by gripping acids. Has the sugar/acid balance and depth of flavor of a great dry riesling from Alsace. Sappy, racy and almost painful today. Finishes with an exhilarating hint of crystallized fruits. A wine of considerable potential, but in need of at least five or six years of bottle aging.HK$14,200.00 -
(6x75cl) 2010Vinous (93-95)
Bright pale-medium yellow. Rich, deep aromas of peach, iodine and oyster shell, with hints of eucalyptus and white truffle. Fat, sweet and compellingly rich but also chewy and tight, conveying a powerful impression of dry extract. Can't match the Chevalier-Montrachet for perfume or weightlessness but this has buns of steel. Finishes with great breadth and length, and the sweetening influence of vanillin oak.HK$44,390.00 -

The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru (which incidentally Jacques was thinking about two cuvées from his two parcels) has a refined bouquet with lovely yellow flower and mineral scents that unfurl from the glass. This shows its class. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, hints of white peach and citrus lemon, very harmonious with an almost understated finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a very classy Montrachet.HK$25,580.00 -
(3x75cl) 2015
Vinous (92-94)
(13.3% natural alcohol; about to be bottled): Bright, light yellow. Aromas of apricot, yellow grapefruit, apple and iodine. A distinct step up in intensity and cut from the Chevalier-Montrachet; higher-pitched and more energetic in the mouth, with its ripe apricot and citrus fruit flavors buoyed by excellent mineral support. This structured wine will need at least several years in bottle to express itself.HK$23,455.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017James Suckling (98)
What an enveloping nose of fully ripe apricot, orange and persimmon this opulent, yet seamlessly balanced Montrachet Grand Cru has! There is some vanilla oak which comes through on the palate too, but the concentrated fruit wins out hands down. In fact, there’s nothing about this very great white Burgundy that’s overdone. Super-long and silky finish. Limited production. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.HK$40,195.00 -
(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (94-96)
The 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru is matured in 60% new oak. It has a finely tuned bouquet with scents of granite filtering through the green apple and pear aromas, and just a little linseed oil in the background. The well-balanced palate displays a fine bead of acidity, good tension from start to finish and a crescendo of concentration that leaves you feeling that you are in the presence of a famous (the most famous?) vineyard. This is a very worthy "Monty" with great potential.HK$47,105.00 -

(3x75cl) 2020Burghound (94-97)
There is a touch of phenolic character to the highly complex and exuberantly spicy nose of white peach, citrus confit, acacia blossom, Asian-style tea and just enough wood influence to merit mentioning. The imposingly dense broad-shouldered flavors possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the very firm acid spine supporting the strikingly persistent finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. This beauty is very, very backward and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least ten years.HK$20,720.00 -

Don't miss! The spicy and densely fruited nose is stunningly elegant with breathtaking purity and is followed by rich, intense and powerful broad-scaled flavors that are naturally sweet and precise, all culminating in an explosive and highly persistent finish. This is by no means a really big Musigny yet it is impeccably well-balanced, fresh and complete. In sum, this is a seriously fine effort.HK$43,235.00 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93+)
Good medium red. Slightly reduced, reserved aromas of kirsch, minerals and clove. Quite taut in the mouth, and showing much more energy in bottle than it displayed from barrel in November of 2010. The medicinal redcurrant and red cherry fruit flavors are complemented by saline and pronounced spice qualities. Ultimately silky and classy wine, with a long, clinging finish that shows continuing spice character. This needs a good eight to ten years of bottle aging.HK$36,750.00
The variations among Burgundy's many appellations and the importance of individual winemakers philosophy's make vintage guides complex. Vintage advantages can also differ slightly for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Nonetheless we have put together a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Burgundy.
