sandalwood and Asian-style tea

plum and violets that complement well the mouth coating and relatively fine mineral-driven flavors

sweet and velvety medium-bodied flavors that possess fine intensity

An attractively spicy

Mild reduction knocks down the nose but it seems reasonably clear that the underlying fruit is ripe

Jean Fournier, Gevrey Chambertin other_regions_australia sandalwood and Asian-style tea(from Creux Brouillard and the villages portion of Clos Prieur). This is a relatively ripe 2021 with its nose of plum, black cherry and hints of the sauvage. The delicious, vibrant and detailed middleweight flavors are also relatively refined thanks to the fine grained tannins supporting the mildly austere finale that is sufficiently structured to merit up to a decade of keeping.
