"Our Craipillot parcel, planted in 1943 and 1953, covers an area of 0.26 hectare. The Gevrey-Chambertin Premiers Crus are matured in 40% new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins. The visual aspect is a beautiful intense garnet colour, with black fruit and light woody vanilla on the nose. On the palate there is the pureness of blackcurrant fruit with some hints of liquorice, resulting in a velvety and harmonious wine that has race. Serving temperature: 16° to 18°C Matching food: Miso beef, veined ham & époisses." Drouhin-Laroze
"(from a parcel measuring .26 ha planted in 1943 and 1953; vinified with 25% whole clusters). A mentholated top note can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, black pinot and soft hints of earth and violet. The succulent, round and delicious flavors are not especially concentrated, though neither are they dilute, while displaying enough depth and persistence to be interesting on the mildly austere finale."
