Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Dec 17
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois was more reticent on the nose than Pierre Duroché's other nascent 2016s; however, there is fine complexity and mineralité already locked into this cuvée. Later there is a hint of licorice that adds another layer of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and sports a caressing texture and a taut line of acidity. There is a spicy vein to this Gevrey-Chambertin, and after departing, the tongue is still fizzing with prenatal energy. I look forward to revisiting this after bottling, because this is a serious village cru.

Juicy and sweet and charming. Accessible with purple fruit flavours. Not that much spread of flavour on the end. Fine but not a standout. (JR)
