Domaine François Leclerc Gevrey Chambertin 2014 PASSERINA Eric experienced his eureka momentFrancois gives me right of first refusal to buy all of his wines. I usually take all he makes. Francois style is similar to his fathers style with emphasis on the fruit. Yet, he americanizes his wines a little. Those who enjoy American Pinot Noirs are usually very impressed with his wines. Good color and concentration, with red fruits, berry, floral and earthy aromas. Nice character and expression of terroir.
