Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Closeau Vintage:2018 broad and fantastically complex flavors

broad and fantastically complex flavors that completely stain and coat the palate on the incredibly long finish

concentrated and gently sweet

baked apple and acacia blossom aromas

As it always is

A touch of reduction does not completely undermine the attractiveness of the otherwise pretty red berry fruit and soft earth notes

Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Closeau Vintage:2018 broad and fantastically complex flavors(Drouhin is the only producer of this vineyard and owns 90% of it; from 60+ year old vines). Reduction dominates the nose today and while there is a lovely mouthfeel to the vibrant, sleek and focused flavors, the reduction reappears on the palate. Its hard to say if this will clean up or not. (88 91?) 2023+
