My experience with drinking 1999 Burgs is that they seem to be "locked"
at the moment, not giving out their aroma's and taste.
I would recommend to wait a couple of years with the good cuvees.
I must admit not having tasted the Drouhin Gevrey-Chambertin
(I've never been much of a fan of Drouhin wines) but this was true
for my Comtes Georges de Vogue, Domaines des Beaumont and Dujac 99s.


Bas,

I'd agree in general, and am not touching most '99s - they do seem to be
asleep. But I don't usually expect basic Bourgognes and most lighter village
wines (though Gevrey isn't light as a village, this wine is medium-bodied) to
close down; in any case this $20 wine was qide awake a few months ago. In any
case I probably will wait while before opening next.

Can you tell me about Beaumont- not a producer I know./
