2013 Drouhin Laroze Gevrey Chambertin 1er Craipillot

“From the entrance of the Combe de Lavaux, from deeper soils that yield at once good richness/volume, and moderate definition/complexity. My note read: impressive volume, length, and complexity. Lovely.

“Once again strong reduction crushes the fruit on the nose. Not surprisingly the palate impression of the medium weight round and supple flavors is finer than that of the Gevrey villages. There is also slightly better depth on the well-balanced and persistent finish. This should be approachable after only 5 years or so of bottle age yet require up to a decade to reach its full potential. (89-92)/2021+” Allan Meadows
