2022 Gevrey Chambertin Dix Climats Drouhin Laroze
£270.00 In Bond £343.24 Inc VAT (£57.20 Per Bottle)-
Goedhuis, December 2023
Four hectares of village Gevrey Chambertin in ten different locations is a sizeable parcel and, as a result, this cuvée is a superb example of this famous Côte de Nuits appellation. With 30% whole bunch, there is a perfumed aroma of alpine strawberry and nutmeg. Relaxed but strikingly sweet bramble fruit flavours, with gently powdery tannins and a harmonious finish. A little beauty at the village level.

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 87-89
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin "Dix Climats," which included 25% whole bunches, offers crushed strawberry and redcurrant fruit on the nose - quite floral with hints of lavender and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine depth and acidity, and a pinch of black pepper towards the finish. This should be ready to go after a couple of years in bottle. Fine. Drinking Window: 2025-2035.

Ripe aromas of plum, dark cherry and a distinct earth character gives way to solidly concentrated and voluminous flavors that manage to be at once caressing and punchy, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and lingering finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth. Drinking 2029+.

Mid crimson purple. The nose is quite discreet, though a mix of strawberry and raspberry fruit then starts to sing out on the palate, along with a little vanilla from the oak. 25% whole bunches adds a little bit of zest. Drink from 2027-2033.

2022 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Craipillots Drouhin Laroze
£440.00 In Bond £547.24 Inc VAT (£91.20 Per Bottle)-
Goedhuis, December 2023
The name Craipillots is a reference to the stony soils in the vineyard, which surely have an influence on the very mineral nature of this wine. Aromatically open, with rich smoky dark fruit and liquorice. Controlled on the palate, the tight limestone core gives a sense of refined austerity. Alive and fresh on the finish, its overall vigour suggests a quality Premier Cru for the future.

Blended with 30% whole bunches, the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Craipillot 1er Cru is a step up in complexity from the Village Crus with bright red fruit laced with sous-bois and clove. The medium-bodied palate offers fleshy, ripe red fruit, gentle grip, and slightly chalky tannins towards the finish, suggesting that it will require 2-3 years in bottle. Drinking Window: 2026-2038.

A spicier nose freely offers up its notes of violet, earth and blend of red and dark currant. The pliant, caressing and generous medium weight flavors tighten up on the youthfully austere, dusty and sneaky long finish that is firm enough to repay mid-term keeping.Drinking 2029+.

Quite a deep soil on flat ground in the path of the combe. A bright mid crimson purple. The nose has more density of raspberry-strawberry fruit than Au Closeau. Lively, juicy, in your face with no great length, but attractive. Drink from 2029-2035.

Goedhuis, December 2023
Lying at the top of the Clos just below the Château, in a parcel called “des Papes” reputedly reserved for the Popes of Avignon, the Drouhin Laroze hectare of vines is one of the very best positioned in Clos de Vougeot. The quality found here supports 80% new oak élevage. With the Clos’ natural power in abundance, he destalks the fruit 100%, giving a deep and full style that highlights the warm black fruit characters, rich and luscious, with a strong tannic structure and great length. Superb quality.

The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a refined bouquet that blossoms in the glass with very fine delineation and purity of fruit. The medium-bodied palate with fine tannins, well-judged acidity, and crisp fruit shows more brightness on the finish than other cuvées. This is one of Drouhin-Laroze's best wines in 2022. Drinking Window: 2027-2049.
