Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 5, 2018 - My retailer got a wholesale closeout offer. I haven’t seen Domaine Pierre Gelin wines for awhile but the price was excellent and the CT ratings were in the middle 90s, so bought a case. Expressive youthful nose displaying perfectly ripe pure black fruit, crushed black berry, a hint of light strawberry jam, sweet spices, rose, a hint of espresso bean and limestone. Very polished, harmonious and detailed palate, very finely layered pure black fruit, silky and airy, perfect amount of acidity, good mineral presence and a long seamless pure black fruit and clove driven finish. Definitely a top grand crus. It will need another decade or two to reach the youthful peak. I have no doubt that this will be a great Beze, love to taste next to the Rousseau version.
