but on July 19th everything changed and the year was saved by some 40 liters of rain

Ultra pure pinot fruit that is almost delicate in character

which means they lost some 40% of the crop because of the frost

(from 55+ year old vines)

An exuberantly floral-suffused nose speaks of both red and dark berries

Perrot Minot, Gevrey-Chambertin Justice des Seuvrees Vintage:2017 but on July 19th everything(from La Justice and Les Seuvres). Once again there is enough reduction to mask the nuances of the underlying fruit. Otherwise there is very good freshness and verve to the equally racy and intense flavors that possess a lovely tension that carries over to the linear, refined and chiseled finish that is shaped by relatively fine grained tannins. This is a very fine Gevrey villages that should also be approachable young.
