91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "To my palate, this is one of the best values to be found in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin year in and year out and the 2017 version will be no exception. As readers may recall, this bottling is made up of a combination of very old vines in the villages level section of Clos Prieur, coupled with some premier cru fruit from the same vineyard, whose vines are not quite as venerable. The results are most often premier cru quality at village level pricing. The 2017 Clos Prieur chez Harmand is excellent, delivering a fine bouquet of black cherries, cassis, a touch of licorice, grilled meats, black minerality, cedar and a lovely, smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with fine mineral drive, impressive nascent complexity, fine-grained tannins and a long, bright and very well-balanced finish. This will be a very, very good value in the context of Burgundy pricing today. 2022-2055. (Nov/Dec 2018)"
90 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur is also showing well, wafting from the glass with scents of smoky cassis, forest floor and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with succulent acids and a richer, more muscular profile than the En Jouise. As I've written before, the climat of Clos Prieur is classified in both premier cru and at villages level, and Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy own vines in both, fermenting them together—so this cuvée contains about 30% premier cru fruit. Drink: 2022-2037. (Feb 2020)"
