Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques

Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques(from a . 3 ha parcel of vines planted in 1943). Here the nose is both fresher and cooler with really pretty red berry fruit aromas that are also cut with ample minerality that can also be found on the rich, sweet and exceptionally pure middle weight flavors that offer wonderful delineation on the long and linear finish. There is a beautiful underlying tension and energy here and this should age well. Recommended. (90 93) 2013+

do everything very technologically

This is also packed with development potential and is a wine that should amply repay a decade or so of cellaring

this is a clear notch up in elegance and is clearly finer with an ultra high-toned floral and spice-infused nose that is almost completely closed in though this may be due to a subtle touch of reduction and I would suggest decanting this if you’re going to try a bottle young

spiced brandy

Fresh citrus

yet evocative of cherry

This is pretty enough but I suspect that the austerity and borderline aggressive citrus character of the finish may be more than some might appreciate

Always excellent

Blackberry

A yield of 30hl/ha

Though it wouldn’t be a crime to enjoy this young
