2022 Château Le Prieuré, Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion
Tasted April 2023. Le Prieuré seems to get better and better each vintage. Aromatic, floral nose, lots of mature bramble fruit but also some crunchier red fruit. Chalky texture, with ripe tannin, and a long mineral finish.

Exhibiting high-toned aromas of dark berries, balsamic cherries and fruit compote, the 2022 Le Prieuré is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a ripe, heady core of fruit, supple tannins and a saline finish. Calon Ségur's Vincent Millet has big plans for this estate, so it will be an address to follow closely.

The 2022 Le Prieuré is another magnificent wine from one of Saint-Émilion’s most under the radar properties. Dark blue/purplish fruit, gravel, spice, menthol and lavender are all finely delineated. As always, Le Prieuré is a wine of cool sophistication and finesse. Clean mineral notes extend the finish effortlessly. Superb.
