Tasting notes
Bright medium red. More reticent and less fruity on the nose than the village Chambolle, offering scents of dark raspberry, brown spices and violet. Concentrated, saline, thick wine with noteworthy depth and a restrained sweetness to its broad flavors of redcurrant and cherry. Solid underlying minerality provides energy. The tannins are chewy but ultimately rather suave. A very substantial village wine.

(these vines range in age from 50 to 60 years old; 20% vendange entier ): Bright dark red. Pure but subdued scents of cranberry and stony minerality; shows the lift provided by active calcaire . Dense and sappy on the palate, with a spicy accent to the red and darker berry flavors. A note of medicinal cherry emerged with aeration. This youthful wine finishes with suave tannins. Should make a terrific village wine.
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin les Seuvrées comes from vines that tend to produce small berries and includes 20-25% whole bunch fruit this year. It has a very seductive redcurrant and pomegranate-scented bouquet with a tangible underlying mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-integrated new oak (20%) with a harmonious, slightly chalky finish that lingers in the mouth. This is very fine.
They have more than 1 ha on clayey soils. Very old vines. Still the bright fruit of the domaine with the depth of a Gevrey. Lots of energy here. (JR)
