Paul Prieur 2024 — Pure, Mineral-Etched Sancerre
Sancerre’s greatest wineries can be counted on less than two hands, and when it is at its best, it can produce some of the world’s greatest white wines. Paul Prieur is one of those icons, producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs I have ever put to my lips. Vintage after vintage, Paul Prieur delivers explosive, mineral-etched Sauvignon Blancs of remarkable depth and energy.
Today, the domaine is in the hands of Luc Prieur and his father Didier. Luc is a winemaking genius who crafts wines that miraculously combine the chiseled, piercing minerality of top-tier Sancerre with the bottomless depth of Grand Cru Chablis.
These are among the region’s most compelling and age-worthy Sauvignon Blancs.

This wine has the crystalline freshness one expects from great Sancerre, wrapped around a deep core of orchard fruit, crushed chalk and oyster shell, with that unmistakable cool mineral tension that seems to radiate directly from the ancient seabed beneath the vines. Even more exciting is that in 2024, this wine is seemingly in HD. The vintage is a return to the more classic style of Sauvignon Blanc that made so many of us fall in love with Sancerre in the first place.
It is one of those bottles that reminds you why Sancerre became famous in the first place—and why, in the hands of the right grower, it still sets the global benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc.

“Always same blend. 40% silex, 40% caillottes, 20% terres blanches. Unoaked though some portion is fermented in oak barrels destined for Pinot Noir. Usually the most accessible cuvée. 2023 was a big vintage. First bottling will be May 2024. Wild flowers and glamorous nose. Really attention-grabbing! Long and rich.”
