the same approach the estate used for its early wines

This bottle of the 1996 is simply moving in its beauty

tension and nuance

The refined and impressively precise medium-bodied flavors possess striking punch and authority before culminating in a long and impeccably well-balanced finish

Claude Dugat, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru other_regions_italy the same approach the estate(a 50 50 blend of Craipillot and La Perrire; the two parcels total . 35 ha). Here too there is enough reduction present to mask the fruit. Otherwise, the sleek, delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors possess better refinement on the more obviously mineral driven and youthfully austere finale. Lovely stuff.
