Joseph Drouhin : Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru "Clos Prieur" 2023

Cask sample. More fruit than I was expecting: Seville orange, cherry candy, tart raspberry. A little necklet of tiny flowers. Lovely tart shards glinting through the sweetness; an underlay of truffle and autumn-leaf loam. A wine that stratifies delicacy with full-on charm, earth-rooted grunt with wood-spiced ambition. (TC)
