Galeyrand Gevrey-Chambertin "En Croisette" VV

From the commune of Brochon and from the lower side of the "Route des Grand Crus", a fantastic cuvée from Jerome Galeyrand that uses a higher percentage of whole bunch fermentation at around 50% to vinify the amazing fruit from the old (1936) vineyards of En Croisette. The result is a highly "tonic" Pinot Noir with quite intense botanical characters full of energy, dynamic character and real depth of flavour. The palate is perhaps the most structured and powerful of the producer's Gevrey trio but there is no unnecessary volume or richness anywhere. The tannins are persistent right through to the finish and here we are talking about a Gevrey Chambertin with a perfectly noble, classy, character and very great ageing potential.
