Thanks to a "pre-harvest" carried out at the beginning of September, Domaine Prieur brought in fruit with decent phenolic maturity and sound levels of sugar (typically between 12% and 12.5%, but 13% for the Corton) and moderate acidity. The crop level averaged barely 20 hectoliters per hectare, according to Martin Prieur. "Overall phenolic ripeness was actually more regular than in 2006," noted enologist Nadine Gublin, "but the key was the quality of the fruit you kept." It's still early days, but in November I preferred the 2008s here to the 2007s for their greater energy. (Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY) Also recommended: Meursault Clos de Mazeray (85). Other wines tasted: Meursault Clos de Mazeray.
