Domaine Prieur Brunet Description
Dry red wine from a highly regarded premier cru site within the Santenay appellation.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Exhibiting attractive aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices and orange rind, the 2018 Santenay 1er Cru Maladière (Domaine Prieur-Brunet) is medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with succulent acids and a deep core of fruit. Frédéric Barnier notes that this parcel is planted with quite high-quality vine material.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Ripe, red-cherry notes combine seamlessly with subtle oak toast on the nose of this wine, while an overtone of Morello hovers. That Morello gets full rein on the juicy, bright palate, where its purity becomes apparent. Fine-boned tannins lend structure and are a little drying. The fresh finish is mouthwatering, appetizing and balanced.
James Suckling: 91 Points
Sweet cherry and berry aromas with hints of citrus. Some flowers, too. It’s medium-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that are focused and polished. Flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Graphite, spice, macerated cherry and smoked meat aromas and flavors are the highlights of this supple red. It's balanced, despite dusty tannins on the finish. The lasting impression is sweet fruit.
Burghound: 90 Points
Pretty and relatively fresh aromas exhibit notes of ripe red and dark raspberry scents that are cut with a subtle earth character that is also reflected by the velvety and succulent middle weight flavors that culminate in a moderately serious, youthfully austere and slightly rustic finale. This complex if mildly warm effort is really quite good though it's sufficiently firm to need at least 3 to 4 years first.
