Domaine Drouhin-Laroze's 'Dix Climats' captures the essence of village Gevrey-Chambertin through a thoughtful blend of ten different vineyard parcels. This approach creates a wine that speaks to the commune's character rather than any single site, offering the structure and earthiness that makes Gevrey famous without the premium of Grand Cru pricing. We find this 2021 showing the vintage's combination of freshness and concentration beautifully. The wine has that distinctive Gevrey backbone - serious without being stern, with red cherry fruit wrapped in the sort of mineral precision that comes from old vines and careful winemaking. Give it until 2028 to fully integrate, then enjoy until 2040.
