La Cave du Prieure Pinot Noir

We adore the wines of Savoie-based La Cave du Prieure. For five generations, the Barlet family have farmed the steep slopes of Savoie, and these days, Pinot Noir is doing some magical things here. If you have loved La Cave du Prieure's Gamay Rose and Jacquere, do yourself a favor and try their Pinot Noir. It's exquisite.

Wedged between Burgundy to the west and Geneva to the east, the mountainous Alpine climate of Savoie is proving to be perfect for Pinot Noir. While this certainly isn't Vosne-Romanee, I'd happily put it up against a lot of much more expensive, village-level Red Burgundies. Pretty insane quality-to-price ratio here.....

The Barlets make just 1,000 cases of this wine each year, and we were able to purchase 10 of those for you all. Keep reading, and wait until you see the price....

2023 La Cave du Prieure Pinot Noir -- Here's why you should buy it:

  • I love how this is both an easy-to-drink and contemplative wine. Sophisticated enough to pair with pork tenderloin with a red wine sauce, it's also "easy" enough to serve with a chill alongside a charcuterie board.
  • Have you checked Red Burgundy prices lately? It's getting ridiculous folks, and it's not going to get any better any time soon. This is a great alternative to Red Burgundy, and the price can't be beat!
  • This is estate-grown, family- and sustainably-made wine from a family that knows the land, the grapes, and the traditions of their respective viticultural region. Bravo!
  • We own 1% of the Pinot Noir they produced in the 2023 vintage. Aren't we special :) Get some before it's gone because once those 120 bottles are gone, we will be waiting on the next vintage to arrive....this time next year.
