40- to 45-year-old vines below Mazis-Chambertin. 50% whole bunch, 30% new oak. Cask sample. Mid-pale ruby. Crisp, crunchy red fruits (red cherry, strawberry) with some tannic heft on the finish. (MH)
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perrière 1er Cru was done with 70% whole bunch with the central stem removed. It has a fresh and quite floral bouquet, notably effervescent with touches of orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, fresh and crisp. It is silky smooth in texture with a transparent finish reminiscent of, say, Duroché or Rousseau. Superb.
