Bernard Dugat-Py, Gevrey Chambertin Corbeaux Vintage:2015

Bernard Dugat-Py, Gevrey Chambertin Corbeaux Vintage:2015(from a . 08 ha parcel; vinified with ~70% whole clusters). Here there are no reductive issues as the ultra sauvage nose displays notes of fresh, ripe and dense dark currant, newly turned earth and floral nuances. There is both excellent richness and volume to the concentrated and powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess a beguiling sense of energy that suffuses the beautifully balanced and again sneaky long finish.

nutty nose of baked apricots

This is excellent and well-worth considering provided you intend to allow for at least mid-term cellaring
