Drouhin-Laroze
About Domaine Drouhin-Laroze
Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Drouhin-Laroze owns an impressive range of Grand Cru across the Cote d’Or. Philippe Drouhin is helped by his daughter Caroline reducing the oak to focus on the excellent fruit they have at their fingertips. The style of Drouhin-Laroze sits between the modern and traditional style; the extraction and use of oak are moderate here.

Wine Advocate (90-92)The 2014 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru includes around 35% whole bunch fruit and around 60% new oak. It has an open, quite transparent bouquet with mineral-tinged black fruit, a hint of Seville orange marmalade lurking in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin that lends this Bonnes-Mares good backbone and a little more masculinity than previous vintages. I like the density here, but it just needs to flow a little more towards the strict, linear finish. |

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The oak comes through stronger than on Drouhin-Laroze’s Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2011 compared to Bruno Clair. The fruit is broodier and only reluctantly reveals blackberry and wild raspberry scents, touches of orange blossom later. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, thickset tannins that lend this weight and muscle. Bold and forward with touches of spice and white pepper toward the finish, this is an assertive Clos de Bèze that will require several years in bottle. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The 2015 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is raised in 80% new oak with 20% whole bunch. It has a very detailed and focused bouquet with precise blackberry, raspberry and morello cherry aromas neatly infused with mineral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, powerful without losing control and building towards a very structured, spicy finish. Whilst I would still dial down the oak to 50-60%, nevertheless it remains a very well-crafted Chambertin with plenty of substance and ambition, and that ain't a bad thing when you are a Clos-de-Bèze. |

Vinous (92-94)Containing 30% whole bunch and 80% new oak, the 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of candied black fruit, orange blossom and light sous-bois scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite dense and muscular, though with satisfying freshness and tension toward the finish, a bit of orange zest livening up the proceedings. I would have liked just a bit more transparency overall. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has plenty of lilting dark plum and strawberry fruit on the nose, nicely defined and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple coffee-tinged black fruit, the Seguin Moreau oak coming on quite strong toward the finish that slightly obscures the terroir expression. Like some of the other of Drouhin-Laroze's 2013s, last year's offering was showing much better. |

Wine Advocate (89-91)The 2014 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a noticeable dark colour. There is plenty of dark cherry and black plum fruit on the nose, quite fresh with violet scents developing with aeration, though not a complex bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with quite fine tannin and well judged acidity. It is a linear Chapelle-Chambertin, a correct grand cru with a straightlaced finish that needs just a little more persistence. |

Wine Advocate (90)Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has a more high-toned bouquet with touches of cassis infusing the brambly red fruit, though it does not possess the complexity of the best Clos Vougeot this vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy with good depth, juicy ripe tannins encasing the cranberry and strawberry fruit, a touch of spice carrying the finish over the line. It is just a little ... predictable, but well made. Tasted September 2016. |

Vinous (89)Medium red. Pungent perfume of red cherry, raspberry, spicy oak and leather. A juicy, slightly tart midweight with a hint of leathery rusticity but also decent suppleness to its red berry and game flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and firm-edged cranberry and pomegranate notes. Just a touch herbal in the style of this cooler year but with no shortage of texture. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru matures with 25% whole bunches and 60% new oak. It has a very harmonious and expressive bouquet with exuberant scents of black cherries, kirsch, strawberry and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, very well focused with a discrete mintiness towards the tensile finish. Excellent. |

Wine Spectator (90)Cherry, currant, mineral and spice aromas and flavors are underscored by a chalky texture in this red, which tightens up, revealing an essence of fruit on the lingering finish. Best from 2018 through 2026. |

Burgundy | 4 | 91+ (VN) | HK$12,270.00 | |||||
Vinous (91+)Good full medium red. Musky dark raspberry, strawberry, underbrush and crushed rock on the nose, plus hints of pepper, leather and spicy oak. Dense, juicy and penetrating but not at all hard, with strong smoky limestone minerality carrying through to a very long, saline aftertaste featuring serious ripe tannins that turned a bit edgy with air. The wine's saline element is nicely supported by its wild red berry fruit. |

Wine Advocate (94-96)The 2016 Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru, like the Chapelle-Chambertin, includes around 40% whole bunch fruit. This is incredibly pure on the nose, very focused, brimming full of energy. It foregoes the conservatism and reserve one usually discerns on wines from this vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied, with layers of raspberry coulis and crushed strawberry laced with tobacco and a touch of spice, fanning out gloriously but with style on the finish. Again, it is a step up from the 2015. |
