This wine is deceptive. Initially it seems full of fresh red fruits and spices. But go deeper and that is just the initial flavor; packed with tannins and a big, powerful core, this is just starting out. In 10 years, this will be a finely balanced, mature wine.

Philippe Drouhin has produced a monumental Clos de Vougeot. It has power, intensity and great, solid fruit flavors, particularly black plums. Add spice, some wood, delicious acidity and concentration—this wine will age for years.

This is a big wine, and so young. The fruits are vibrantly fresh, but the tannins are still somewhat set apart. Just wait; this is so intense and concentrated that it will be stunning. For now, admire the structure and the fruit from afar; don’t open until 2012.

This wine is all power on a leash. It is a wine that is waiting to escape from its youth, there’s that much intensity. It’s not huge, but it is concentrated, and the black fruits and acidity are already powering through. It needs 5–6 years.

Au Clouseau is a small (1.3 acres) walled vineyard close to the Grand Crus at the back of the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The wine is perfumed, structured, still very young. Black fruits, layers of sweet tannins, acidity and some balancing wood flavors—this is a wine with a good future.

Philippe Drouhin has 30 acres in Gevrey-Chambertin, and the wines of this village are his specialty. This village wine shows just the right power, richness and depth of flavor, topped by delicious fresh, red fruited aromas and flavors. Drink now, or hold for 2–3 years.
