2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière, Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini

“The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru la Perriere includes just under 50% whole bunch fruit with around 30-35% new oak. It offers impressive delineation on the nose with raspberry, briary and wild strawberry, crisp and focused with fine terroir expression. Hints of earl grey emerge with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a vibrant, spicy, peppery entry. It feels harmonious in the mouth, energetic and feisty, especially on the finish. Very fine, although it is on par, not superior to the domaine's excellent range of village crus.”
