Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A restrained deeply pitched nose speaks of black cherry, plum, red currant, earth and subtle sauvage nuances. The medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel though there is evident minerality along with a touch of youthful austere on the punchy and moderately structured finale. This is really quite good for its level and is worth a look. Score: 89 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2023+ 10 January 2019 |

A more deeply pitched nose speaks of black cherry, plum, red currant, earth and subtle sauvage nuances. The medium-bodied flavors also possess a caressing mouthfeel though here there is evident minerality along with a touch of youthful austere on the slightly more structured finale. This too is really quite good for its level and is also worth a look. Score: 89 - 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2024+ 15 January 2018 |

Transparent crimson. Silky and perfumed and sweet. Very hedonistic. Lighter than the average Gevrey but very juicy and fun! Really nice wine. Great balance and approachability already. GV Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2030 09 January 2018 |

Healthy dark red. Very pure but subdued nose shows some soil tones to go with the black raspberry and spices. Broader, drier and more classic than the Morey villages; perhaps richer but less expressive today and a bit dominated by its spicy oak element. Made from four parcels: La Justice, Bel-Air, Seuvrées and Craite-Paille. Score: 87 - 90 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 January 2018 |

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has been a consistent performer at the domaine. It has a clean and precise bouquet although it does not quite convey the same energy and fruit concentration as the Morey-Saint-Denis. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, elegant and bright with tart red fruit with a tang of spice towards the finish. This seems to meliorate as it goes on. Score: 88 - 90 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2019-2030 29 December 2017 |
