2014 Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey Chambertin La Perriere 1er Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy

90-92 pts – The Wine Advocate (Neal Martin)

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru la Perrière was cropped at around 30 to 35 hectoliters per hectare this year because of the cold weather in spring during flowering. The nose is tightly wound and nicely defined, but it needs to develop more intensity by the time it is in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite elegant with red berry fruit mixed with sea salt and something sweet, perhaps just a hint of date or fig that lends an attractive exotic touch on the finish. Very fine. Drink 2017-2030.
