This isn’t a refined version of the appellation but it doesn’t lack for underlying material

snappy tannins frame flavors of crushed black cherry

warm weather during September resulted in optimal conditions for fruit ripening

This Zinfandel blend (with 23% Petite Sirah and 6% Carignan) has an intense purple juiciness

cool and restrained with its airy array of red currant

Marc Roy, Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur other_regions This isn’t a refined versionAn earthier and more sauvage inflected nose reflects notes of various dark berries, plus, earth and a whiff of humus. Here the medium bodied flavors are denser if a bit less refined while exhibiting better minerality on the complex, long and moderately firmer finale. As it usually is, this is excellent and worth your interest.
