🏰 From a cult, minimal-intervention Burgundy producer, this 2020 Prieure Roch Gevrey Chambertin VV 1er Cru offers remarkable freshness and concentration, a hallmark of the excellent 2020 vintage. The 2020 Burgundy vintage was praised for being remarkably fresh, pure, elegant, and focused, despite being a warm and dry year, with reds displaying freshness, precision, and a tannic core for longevity. This is notably the first vintage Prieure Roch produced from the Clos des Varoilles monopole vineyard, located next to Lavaux St. Jacques. "VV" signifies Vieilles Vignes (old vines). 【User reviews describe a large-scaled ripe Pinot that leans toward black and dark fruits, very well made, seamless, and with a nice spice note. It's characterized by a fine floral perfume, very forward, attractive, with freshness, drive, and a silky texture. Other notes include rose, red fruits, hawthornberry, strawberries, hints of earth, mandarin peel, black tea, and a clear greenness from the stems, presenting as darker, denser, and immensely concentrated with an extra punch in structure.】 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This Gevrey-Chambertin would be superb with Cantonese-style braised beef short ribs, or a rich mushroom and truffle claypot rice. For Western cuisine, consider roasted game birds like pheasant, grilled lamb chops, or a classic beef bourguignon. 🥂 fit for event: A compelling choice for a serious Burgundy collector, a special occasion demanding a wine with significant aging potential, or a gourmet meal featuring game or rich beef dishes. It is still youthful and tight, with excellent potential to age beautifully, suggested for drinking from 2030+.
