Tasting notes
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Craipillots 1er Cru, containing 30-40% whole bunch, has palpable strictness on the nose, correct and focused, touches of pencil lead infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, very harmonious with a slightly granular texture. Balances and quite mineral-driven on the finish, this is surely the hidden gem of Drouhin-Laroze's line-up this year. Go seek.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Craipillot 1er Cru offers slightly smudged red berry fruit on the nose, though it gains clarity with aeration, mulberry and light star anis scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with light and fleshy tannins, a little oak towards the finish that just slightly obscures the fruit, though there is decent length. Fine.
