Dupont-Tisserandot, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru (Les Cazetiers) 2006

($96, VOS Selections): In addition to his excellent village Gevrey-Chambertin, Dupont-Tisserandot made a stellar group of wines from that village’s premier and grand cru sites in 2006.  The signature–elegance and finesse, not raw power–is the same, but this Les Cazetiers has more of everything, reflecting the stature of the vineyard.  Nuances of gaminess marry nicely with the spice and leather notes.  Fine tannins make it remarkably approachable now. 93 Michael Apstein Jul 8, 2008
