Tasting Notes

Darker-fruited and a little less open than the Bourgogne. More peppery and spicy, very Gevrey. Fine, dry, structuring tannins. A baby in balance.

Score: 16+

A fresher and cooler nose combines hints of earth and the sauvage with those of red and dark currant. The lilting and vibrant flavors are not particularly concentrated though they offer notably better depth and length on the youthfully austere finale. This should be approachable young if that's your preference.

Score: 88 - 91

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2024+ 10 January 2020

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from seven parcels of vines between 40 and 100 years old. There are blackberry, boysenberry and briar scents on the nose, which is quite dense and more backward than the regular Gevrey. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline, licorice-tinged entry and very fine weight in the mouth. There is some new oak on the finish that will need to be subsumed. Give this three or four years once in bottle.

Score: 89 - 91
