(91-93) The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru la Perrière comes from purchased grapes, although Laurent Lignier controls the vineyard that is in its first year of conversion to biodynamie. It has a perfumed and floral bouquet with red cherries, redcurrant and crushed strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit, tensile from the beginning with fine tannin and a pointed sorbet-fresh finish. This is very fine and may well eclipse the excellent 2014 la Perrière. -Neal Martin

(89-92) A pretty and attractively layered nose exhibits notes of fresh red berries, iron-inflected earth and a hint of humus. The supple, round and delicious middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality that carries over to the firm, balanced and delicious finale. This should reward 10 to 12 years of cellaring yet be approachable young too.
