The 1990 Gevrey Les Cazetiers from Philippe Leclerc is a rustic and quite youthful wine. In the nose rustic red berry fruit with strong notes of tar and a earthy minerality. On the palate – muscular and intense – quite openly knit with with a almost Rhone like fruit. Not the most focused wine … but it’s big, burly and somehow quite charming in a strangely rustic way. A quite dramatic wine … with a label to match the content.
