Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques Drouhin Laroze 2018 is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. The vineyard, Lavaut St Jacques, is known for its superior terroir, situated on a gentle slope that benefits from optimal sunlight exposure and well-drained soils. Drouhin Laroze, a family-owned winery established in 1850, is noted for its traditional winemaking approach and long-standing commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of Burgundy. The wine reflects the 2018 growing season, marked by warm conditions that led to ripe, dark fruit aromas balanced by subtle minerality. Expect refined tannins and an opulent texture.
Vinous
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed, as the domaine felt that the wine already came with sufficient natural spiciness. It has a very classy bouquet of copious red cherry and raspberry fruit, becoming a little darker with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, impressive symmetry and an elegant finish. This is the kind of wine that is becoming more synonymous with the domaine since their change of modus operandi. Superb. Neal Martin1st January 2020
