The 2019 Gevrey villages was as far I moved up the red wine “food chain” at Maison Drouhin in this vintage, given my request for half bottles, but it was not a bad place to stop, as it is really a very good AC. The wine offers up a classic nose of red and black cherries, mustard seed, grilled meats, dark soil tones, bonfire, sweet stem tones and cedar. On the palate the wine is complex, full and nicely solid at the core, with good soil signature, a bit of firm backend tannin and fine length and grip on the nascently complex finish. This will demand a bit of bottle age before it really starts to drink with generosity. Good juice.
