Maison Louis Jadot, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru, Petite Chapelle

(from purchased grapes--always very dark and with small bunches, according to Barnier): Bright medium red. Less forthcoming on the nose than the village Gevrey, hinting at raspberry, menthol, minerals and clove. Juicy and tightly wound, showing no easy sweetness and dominated in the early going by its firm mineral underpinning. Best today on the long, detailed, firmly tannic finish, which shows a savory complexity and good grip. Not a particularly elegant style, though.
