Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: Completely integrated and easily allows the maturing and mostly red berry fruit, spice and earth-scented nose to be appreciated. There is reasonably good richness to the focused and intense medium-bodied flavors that possess good if not truly special depth and persistence on the balanced finish.

• Burghound: An expressive and elegant mélange of oak trimmed and very spicy red and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by hints of violets and the expected pungent Gevrey earth that is also picked up by the rich and particularly full flavors that possess a natural sweetness, which serves to buffer the firm tannins on the wonderfully persistent finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Drouhin-Laroze is a producer in the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy that specializes in producing wines made from Pinot Noir. The domaine has its origins in vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin purchased in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Laroze. Eventually Alexandre Drouhin took over the estate, bringing his family vines from Chambolle-Musigny and incorporating them under Domaine Drouhin-Laroze. Today the family owns 11.5 hectares (28.5 acres) of vines spread throughout Burgundy and is run by the fifth and sixth generation of the family. The domaine owns vineyards in six grand cru appellations in the Côte de Nuits: Musigny, Chambertin Clos de Béze, Clos de Vougeot, Bonnes-Mares, Latricières-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin. It also has plots in four premier cru regions and three village appellations. The grapes are all hand-harvested and transported to the winery in Gevrey-Chambertin. Grand cru wines are aged in 100 percent new oak, premier cru wines in 50 percent new oak and village wines in first-fill barrels. All of the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
