Domaines François LECLERC, Philippe LECLERC, Thierry MORTET, and Philippe ROSSIGNOL (all Gevrey-Chambertin) -- 2018 Tasted from Barrel Samples


A selection of wines maybe worth watching, but no rush to buy at this time.



François LECLERC

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Les Corbeaux
Mineral dark fruits, medium-weight, good energy and balance. (90-92)



Philippe LECLERC

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Les Cazetiers
Dark fruits, some iodide, medium-weight, good length, enough acidity, round tannins. (90-92)

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Combe aux Moînes
Dark fruits, round, smooth balanced. Perhaps just a touch hot. (88-90)



Thierry MORTET

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Clos Prieur
Medium-weight, dark plum fruit, but lacking the differentiation of better wines. (88-90)



Philippe ROSSIGNOL

Not up to what I recall from this estate in the 1990s and late 1980s.

2018 Gervrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Estournelles Saint-Jacques
Intense and concentrated with dark plum fruits, but very tannic -- not well-balanced. (87-89)

2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Les Corbeaux
Tannic, intense, undifferentiated. (86-88?)
