(90-92 points) Pretty and ripe aromas of black cherry, poached plum and a hint of crushed herbs possess slightly better layering. There is fine volume to the even more generously proportioned and richer medium-bodied...

The 2022 Drouhin-Laroze Gevrey Chambertin Au Closeau is a Pinot Noir hailing from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically the Côte de Nuits sub-region, within the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. This red wine is produced by Drouhin-Laroze, a respected name in the wine industry known for its commitment to quality and tradition.

As a red wine, this Pinot Noir is expected to exhibit the classic characteristics associated with the varietal, including a balance of fruit and earthiness, with potential notes of cherry, raspberry, and perhaps hints of forest floor or spice, which are typical of the Gevrey Chambertin terroir. While the precise alcohol content and closure type are not specified, wines from this region often showcase a well-integrated structure with moderate alcohol levels, allowing the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir to shine through.

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy has been anticipated with interest, as producers in the region continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by changing climate conditions. While specific reviews for this wine are not available, Drouhin-Laroze's reputation suggests that it could be a wine of both elegance and depth.

In the absence of reviews, it’s worth considering the general acclaim for Drouhin-Laroze’s offerings, which often receive praise for their ability to capture the essence of Burgundy’s esteemed terroir. This Pinot Noir may appeal to those who appreciate the nuanced and layered expressions of the grape, particularly from a prestigious appellation like Gevrey Chambertin.

As with many wines from Burgundy, this bottle might benefit from a few years of cellaring to allow its flavors to fully develop, although it should also have the structure to be enjoyed in its youth.
