2021 Laurent Ponsot Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee de l'Aulne

In the first flush of youth Gevrey wines have a lively ruby tone, which gradually turns to a dark carmine colour.The spontaneous aromas of young Gevrey wines are strawberry, blackberry, violet, mignonette flower and rose while maturity adds a liquorice bouquet with gamey and undergrowth notes. Generous, powerful, rich, vigorous, full of body and spirit, Gevrey-Chambertin wines present a firm structure, with delightful velvety tannins, supported by a very finely grained texture, with no hardness. Pleasant to drink when young and fruity, this is however a wine that should be kept for some years, frequently presenting an exceptional capacity to age, and serving as an excellent showcase for the vintages.
