WEINWISSER: "95 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 40 hl/ha, Alkohol 13.4 vol %. Bezauberndes Bouqet, ein satter Fliederstrauss, rote Pflaume und Heidekraut. Am saftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, edler Salznote, vibrierendem Körper. Im gebündelten, energiegeladenen Finale rotbeerige Konturen, zarter Kreideton und feinkörnige Adstringenz."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A balanced St.-Emilion this year with ripe strawberries and red cherries. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a round, fruity and juicy finish. Almost approachable now. This will have good early appeal. 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, plums, dried herbs, and ocean breezes fill the perfume. The wine is medium-bodied, forward, fruity, vibrant, elegant, and open, with a focus on its sweet, core of red plums, and their discreet touch of cocoa in the finish. This is the first vintage produced in the estate's new, cellars allowing for parcel by parcel vinification. The wine blends 95% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.13.4% ABV. Drink from 2027-2042."

ANSON: "Some austerity on the opening but expands to show greater depths of raspberry and red cherry fruit through the mid palate, helped by the addition of clay-dominant Merlots from Château Malineau just opposite Troplong Mondot, bought in 2021 and included since 2022 in the blend. Fingerprint of limestone in evidence, fresh acidities on the finish. 3.40 pH. 40 hl/ha. 50% new oak. First year of the new cellar here."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Le Prieuré offers up notes of minty berries, plums and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and soft palate that's polished, seamless and nicely balanced."
