94-96 NEIL MARTIN:
"The 2020 Le Prieuré is very intense on the nose of pure blackberry, raspberry preserve and subtle blueberry scents, the oak extremely well integrated. The medium-bodied palate delivers velvety tannins and a mélange of red and black fruit laced with blood orange and hints of marmalade. This is a nimble, tensile Saint-Émilion with real puissance toward the finish and a persistent spicy aftertaste. Wonderful." 93-95 THE WINEADVOCATE:
"The 2020 Le Prieure is a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc, with 14.3% alcohol. It is aging for an anticipated 16 months in French oak barriques, 35% new. Deep purple-black colored, it needs a little swirling and coaxing to reveal fragrant notes of lilacs, underbrush and sandalwood over a core of Morello cherries and plum preserves, plus a waft of woodsmoke. The medium to full-bodied palate has beautiful energy and tension, featuring layers of juicy red and black fruits with a plush texture, finishing long and perfumed. What a stunner!" 18 WEINWISSER:
"Sehr dunkles Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und lila Rand. Konzentriertes Bouquet mit reifen Pflaumen, Brombeerkonfitüre, Schokopastillen und edle Cassiswürze. Am mittleren Gaumen mit weicher Textur, mehlige Extraktfülle, engmaschiges Tanningerüst, balancierte Rasse und durchtrainierter Körper. Im gebündelten Finale eine volle Ladung schwarzer Johannisbeeren, dunkles Graphit und stützende Adstringenz. Top Leistung dieses Jahr! " 94 DECANTER:
"Textured with depth to the hawthorn, raspberry and blackberry fruit that travels down several layers. The frame is drenched with juicy and taut limestone minerality, with almost a juniper and saline sting. Hard to argue with the quality here. First year with new owners, Suravenir of Calon-Ségur, Penelope Godefroy is still the winemaker. A yield of 30hl/ha, organic winemaking." 93-95 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER:
"Floral in nature, with a strong sense of minerality, the wine is fresh, elegant, silky and vibrant, with sweet, ripe, juicy, plums, cherries and spice on the palate and in the long, salty, vivacious finish. I really like the length and purity along with all the crushed rocks and stones you find here."
