Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Closeau Vintage:2018 A touch of reduction does

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

The broad-shouldered flavors are big yet possess a notably more refined mouth feel while conceding nothing in terms of power and punch on the cool

Finishes long

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

Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Closeau Vintage:2018 A touch of reduction does(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+
