Joseph Drouhin, Griotte Chambertin Grand Cru, 2018
Griotte-Chambertin is the smallest Grand Cru on the Gevrey hill, named for the sour-cherry note that runs through its wines, and Joseph Drouhin tends a precious slice of it. Drouhin has been a fixture of Burgundy since 1880, family-owned, with organic conversion begun in the late 1980s and biodynamic practices instituted from the mid-1990s, with the vast majority of fruit coming from their own vines. The 2018 plays the warm, generous side of the vintage with characteristic Drouhin restraint: silky and perfumed, with that telltale griotte cherry, rose petal, and savory spice unfolding over a mineral, classically Gevrey core. Ample early-drinking pleasure now, with the structure to reward another decade or more in a cool cellar.
