" As I noted last year, the old vine bottling from Domaine de Prion is comprised of a selection of seventy to eighty year-old vines and which is raised in two year-old Burgundy barrels purchased from Domaine Ramonet in Chassagne. The 2011 version is absolutely stunning, offering up a deep and sappy nose of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, woodsmoke, dark soil tones, violets and a gentle framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure on the attack and impressively sappy at the core, with great focus and balance, a fair bit of the vintageâs tannins ripely displayed on the backend, and outstanding length and grip on the classy finish. I love this really deep example of Fleurie, but give it a few years in the cellar to allow the tannins to soften a bit and the wine to really blossom."
