Duroche Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St. Jacques 2018
Tasting Note
'Deep rich purple colour though more translucent than most people’s 2020s, let alone 2018s. It was humid in May, providing enough water in the table to keep things going. This is the first wine which might be called a blockbuster but even then finesse and detail will win through. Quite heady raspberry but not lush. Tight structure behind, good acidity, stronger tannins but perfectly managed by the fruit, of which a whole new waver floods over the palate including strawberries with black pepper. Years to go!'
