    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin, En Champs, 2018

    A little brooding and surly at first, dense and opaque but corpulent and voluptuous. Beautifully smooth-textured dark berry fruit with liquorice spice touches. Liquid velvet. A fine, relatively cool Gevrey lieu dit that typically yields, fresh, racy wines. Fully destemmed and aged in 40% new oak.

    ABV:
    14%
    89-91/100

    The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs has a little more volume on the nose compared to the "Dix Climats", the fruit slightly darker with hints of blueberry and iris flower. The palate is well-balanced with supple, quite fleshy tannins, slightly confit-towards the finish that just shaves away a little sophistication. Otherwise, this should give 10-12 years of drinking pleasure.
