Already bottled, the 2017 Bourgogne Rouge Les Prielles exhibits a pretty bouquet of berry fruit, baking chocolate and sweet soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, supple and open-knit, with tangy acids and a pure core of fruit. It isn't quite as concentrated as the 2016 or 2015 renditions, but it's a very charming middleweight that is drinking well already.

A pretty and exceptionally fresh nose freely offers up notes of pomegranate, raspberry and soft earth wisps that continue onto the sleek, detailed and delicious flavors that deliver reasonably good persistence with only a trace of rusticity. A competent Bourgogne.
