Vintage information 2007:

The whites: could be excellent - concentrated though not too rich and superbly penetrating acidity on the best - assuming they do not age prematurely some will be monuments. Some are still a little 'raw' and will benefit from 1 year of rest
The reds: if you choose your producers - easier in the Côte de Nuits - these wines will make lovely early and medium-term drinking. Many are charming and ripe and easily differentiate the vineyards - Vosnes can be quite hedonistic - others can be a little thin though!

2007 Prieur Jacques, Beaune Les Champs PimontJul. 2010
Medium colour. Like the Grèves, this is an interesting blend of barrel and fruit notes – you look forward to the next sniff – yet it doesn’t seem to show any different character. Also plenty of tannin in this wine, but it seems ripe enough so will eventually fade from view. Good as it is, other than the colour I found not enough differentiation between this and their Grèves.
2007 Prieur Jacques, Beaune Les GrèvesJul. 2010
Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour – almost a 2008-level of colour. The aromas are an interesting and complex blend of barrel notes and perfectly ripe fruit. Mouth-filling and showing plenty of tannin – dark flavoured fruit too for an 07. Here’s an 07 masquerading as an 08 – well, until you taste the 08!
