November 2024: Club PLUS Reds

1. Amiot Gevrey-Chambertin 2020
Young winemaker Léon Amiot has recently returned to his family domaine, and has quickly made his mark: working towards biodynamics, new viticulture techniques, etc. The results are clear and compelling – Amiot’s wines burst with intensity and tension, full of inky dark fruit and gorgeous, layered aromatics. Decant for a half hour.
Drink: now (decant) – 2030
Available: $72/bot ($57.6 w/ followup coupon)

2. Couvent Chambolle-Musigny 2019
Couvent’s blend of several village-level plots in Chambolle shows a master winemaker at work. Phillipe Cheron perfectly balances his wines, which exhibit an old school firmness and character in their youth – this bottle, with a few years under its belt, is a delight. Decant for one hour.
Drink: now – 2032
Available: $82/bot ($65.6 w/ followup coupon)

3. Gros Nuits-St-Georges 2020
Michel Gros’s style is easily recognizable – toasty oak, middleweight texture, and hauntingly beautiful aromatics. This cuvée comes from the Vosne side of the appellation, and combines the rugged character of Nuits with the subtle elegance of Vosne. Pour from bottle.
