Tasting notes
Louis Dumont's Gevrey-Chambertin 2006 is a pure expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy. This wine showcases the region's terroir beautifully, offering an elegant yet powerful taste profile. The 2006 vintage was particularly favorable, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.
In 'Drops of God', this wine appears in volume 32, where Nakamata revels in its rich flavors. He describes it as having a strength tempered with gentleness, with a hint of orange aroma. It's exactly what makes this wine captivating – it holds an array of delightful nuances.
When poured, the wine presents a deep ruby color with a hint of garnet at the rim. The aroma is open, with ripe black cherry and raspberry notes, complemented by hints of violet and tea. The attack is soft, with a rounded acidity and dense tannins that provide excellent balance. The finish is long, leaving a rich savoriness that lingers on the palate.
