Château de Laborde – En Derée 2017 – Gevrey-Chambertin

The nose is fruity and offers gourmandize as well as a fine concentration. It reveals notes of strawberry, fresh raspberry, small notes of juicy/fresh plum associated with fine touches of rose/fresh flowers as well as fine hints of liquorice, cherry blossom, spices, a very discreet hint of camphor, cardamom, vanilla, an imperceptible hint of pepper and balsamic (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, minerality, precision as well as a good structure, a small concentration, a certain straightness and fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of raspberry, strawberry, small notes of juicy/fresh plum associated with touches of violet, rose, laurel berries, nutmeg as well as very fine hints of fresh tobacco, graphite and a discreet hint of cardamom. Tannins are precise. Good length.
