Made under the same ownership group as Château Latour (now owned by Calon Segur), Le Prieuré has undergone a remarkable transformation under technical director Pénélope Godefroy, who brought the farming and winemaking rigor she learned at Latour to this small 6.2-hectare estate. The 2020 is inky and deep, with blueberry jam, graphite, menthol, and lavender building on the nose, and bright saline, mineral notes carrying through a long, mouthwatering finish. Merlot-driven with a supporting share of Cabernet Franc, this is one of the most striking wines being made in St-Émilion today — serious, structured, and built for the cellar.

97 Points — Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2020)
"The 2020 Le Prieure is fabulous. Inky and deep, with tremendous vibrancy, it dazzles from start to finish. Blueberry jam, graphite, menthol and lavender build as the 2020 gradually shows off its pedigree. Bright saline and mineral notes punctuate the mouthwatering finish. Technical Director Penelope Godefroy has taken the farming and winemaking principles she learned at Latour and the other Artemis Group properties and applied them at Siaurac, Vray Croix de Gay, and the crown jewel Le Prieure, all of which are now owned by French insurance company Suravenir. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. Le Prieure is quite simply one of the most beautiful, striking wines being made in Saint-Emilion today"
