nice ripe orchard fruit and a good minerality

The intensity of fruit is very impressive in this nuanced and balanced wine

This is a very pretty Pinot with a heavenly red-fruited perfume: tiny wild strawberries muddled with spice

One to drink with the starters to get the ball rolling

Domaine Drouhin Laroze, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2018 Aux Chailloux nice ripe orchard fruit andDeep lustrous crimson. A hint of spicy oak still. Pretty full on and ripe, with alcohol very evident. Tannins and acidity yet to fold into the very ripe, almost rude, fruit. Id prefer to reserve judgment at this price and at this stage if possible. There is sweetness on the finish, almost as though the fermentation didnt quite get to dryness. Rather drying on the end. Jancis Robinson (16)
