Chateau Le Prieure, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2018

Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media 96 Points

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2018 Le Prieuré is a wine of total understatement and class. Gracious and light on its feet, the 2018 offers striking, perfumed aromatics, finely sculpted fruit and magnificent overall balance, with silky tannins and layers of saline-infused brightness that add to the wine’s total sense of finesse. Don’t miss it! Tasted two times.

James Suckling – 93 Points

“Aromas of fresh blackberries, plums, black tea and dried violets. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Polished and tight. Pretty sweet-tobacco and light balsamic aftertaste. Try from 2023.”

Decanter – 93 Points

“Raspberry and redcurrant fruits sit against attractive white pepper and saffron spice. This has a more subtle overall approach than some. Clear limestone influence, gentle and sappy, and extremely attractive. Great work from winemaker Penelope Godefroy. Under new ownership as of 2020, with the owners of Calon-Ségur moving in, so this 2018 will be the last made from start to finish under the Artémis Estates team. Drinking Window 2024 – 2040”
