There is fine mid-palate density and minerality to the delicious, intense and serious flavors that are also shaped by a firm tannic spine that will require at least a few years of cellaring to soften enough such that this will be sufficiently civilized to enjoy.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: \" new=\"\" style=\"font-family: \" times=\"\" color:=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Gilman 93\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: \" new=\"\" style=\"font-family: \" times=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2015 Perrière from Philippe Harmand is excellent, and interestingly, this was raised in less new wood than the Vieilles Vignes this year (thirty percent). The wine is pure and refined on both the nose and palate, with the excellent bouquet wafting from the glass in a lovely combination of cassis, dark berries, black minerality, dark chocolate, incipient notes of grilled meats and a deft framing of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly classic in profile, with a fine core of fruit, great backend mineral drive, fine-grained tannins and a long, poised and tangy finish. This is a superb example of this underrated and beautiful Gevrey premier cru.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: \" new=\"\" style=\"font-family: \" times=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan _mce_style=\"color: #ff0000;\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate (William Kelley) 92\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv _mce_style=\"font-family: \" new=\"\" style=\"font-family: \" times=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière is a lovely, chiseled wine from this cool climat, wafting from the glass with a sapid bouquet of coniferous forest floor, wild black fruits and Griotte cherry.

Indeed, the 2015 shows a markedly cool personality for the vintage, with a lifted impression of menthol and exotic spices on the nose, and a driving, red-fruit-dominated palate. 40% new oak.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037450490095,"sku":"5370","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/harmondgeoffroyperrieres.jpg?v=1731312804","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2015-harmand-geoffroy-gevrey-chambertin-1er-perrieres","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
