2018 Drouhin Laroze Gevrey Chambertin villages Dix Climats

After tasting through a few of the impressive négoce wines that they make, this was the first Domaine wine, and man oh man was it on point. This is class and classic to my taste, a 6pk/cs buy…My note : “Wow. A wonderfully elegant and well measured wine of noteworthy purity, depth, spice, fruit, floral, and savory. Gorgeous. What more could one ask for?…”. A little * awarded here.
“The notably ripe yet super-fresh nose is composed by notes of plum liqueur, black cherry and ample amounts of pungent earth. There is excellent minerality to the sleek, intense and delineated medium weight flavors that possess much better overall complexity on the dusty, serious and balanced finish that is youthfully austere. (89-91)/2023+” Allan Meadows
