Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 'Au Closeau', Domaine Drouhin-Laroze 2021
The 2021 'Au Closeau' from Drouhin-Laroze is medium to full-bodied with a finely tuned structure. The tannins are firm yet elegant, providing a solid backbone for the wine's vibrant fruit profile. The acidity is well-balanced, ensuring freshness and a long, persistent finish.
Pommard Premier Cru, Les Chaponnières, Domaine Launay-Horiot 2021
Domaine Launay-Horiot is consistent and over the past few vintages has culminated in something once again truly remarkable in 2021. This wine walks the fine line between classic Pommard structure and graceful delicacy. With a light-to-medium frame, it opens on brambly red fruit and earthy loam, wrapped in a peppery spice that lingers. The palate is honest and straightforward; sour cherry leads the way, followed by cereal and subtle earth notes, finishing with a gourmand flourish. Likened to Armand Rousseau by Neal Martin, Xavier Horiot fought an 11 year court battle with family members to keep the estate and reignite the work left by his beloved grandfather. In only his 7th vintage, this quietly spoken former fighter pilot only expresses his gratefulness for being able to farm his grandfather’s land.
