2016 Gevrey Chambertin Domaine Perrot-Minot

(35 hectoliters per hectare produced in 2016; half of this wine was from the frosted Les Justices and the other half from Les Seuvrées): Healthy bright red. Aromas of red fruits and spices complicated by wild notes of iron, fresh blood and game. Fat, silky and smoky, showing insidious depth to its perfumed flavors of red fruits, smoke and spices. This superb village wine finishes with lovely length.

(from La Justice and Les Seuvrées). A completely different aromatic profile presents itself with distinct notes of underbrush, warm earth, dark currant, plum and a whiff of the sauvage. The plush yet sleek medium weight plus flavors possess both excellent volume and ample mid-palate concentration while flashing unusually good length for a villages level Gevrey. If this can develop a bit more depth it should merit the upper end of my projected range. Succinctly put, this is potentially terrific for what it is. Drink 2024+ .
