Outscored Roumier at only 9.7% of its price: Drouhin Laroze Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2004

A family-run Domaine founded in 1919 owns about 11.5 ha of vines nowadays, Drouhin-Laroze produces a fantastic line-up of wines in Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny in which many are either 1er Cru or Grand Cru. Some of their most famous terroirs include Le Musigny, Chambertin Clos de Beze, Chapelle Chambertin, and Latricieres-Chambertin, and are made to be great. Buyers who are patient enough to wait for them to mature will benefit from the complexity that adds to the wine.

Although having considered a weak vintage in Burgundy,  2004 is a mystical vintage under Philippe Drouhin who called 2004 a "classic vintage in the traditional sense of the term with a heavy emphasis on terroir and perhaps even more pinot character than usual.”, renowned British wine critic and writer Jancis Robinson is one of the admirers of the wine, giving it a fantastic 18pts which outscored Georges Roumier and Robert Groffier, with much higher market prices than the Drouhin Laroze which can be referred to the below:

Here the wood is much more tightly integrated with the earthy dark fruit aromas nuanced by traces of violets, licorice and a very subtle hint of mocha. The big, robust and muscular flavors offer a lovely sweetness with excellent depth and a forward but mouth coating finish of serious length. This is a big wine though not as structured as some in this range; still, it's going to require 8 to 10 years to be at its best.
