2017 Gevrey-Chambertin, La Perrière, 1er Cru, Arnaud Mortet, Burgundy

Soft wood sets off ripe, very fresh and relatively elegant aromas of plum, red and dark raspberry and discreet earth nuances. The succulent, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors possess a velvety mouthfeel along with fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in a lightly stony finale. This is an elegant Gevrey 1er.
