2013 Hubert Lignier, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, La Perriere 12x75cl

Robert Parker 89-91

The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru la Perrière, a vineyard that Hubert and Laurent have treated organically for three years, has a quite an intense bouquet with small red cherries, cranberry and raspberry preserve. The palate is very well balanced with just the right amount of acidity to cut through the succulent red fruit, although the finish does not quite possess the delineation that I was expecting at the moment.

Dense with good fresh fruit, so long as you search for it. Still pretty austere. No more than medium-bodied. [14/01/2016]
