2023 - 2030justerini & brooks tasting note
Lots of substance for a villages with very silky, ripe, smooth fruit. Engaging and glossy damson and wild dark berry flavours with a warming hint of kirsch and a spicy liquorice note. Generous rich and seductive. A Gevrey village blend of 10 different parcels. 30% whole bunch fermentation, ageing in 30% new oak.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin "Dix Climats", matured in 40% new oak, has a bold, almost Chambolle-like bouquet, quite pure with touches of blue fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and is fleshy with fine acidity. This is one of Drouhin-Laroze's most plush wines this year, and probably only needs two or three years in bottle.
