The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fonteny 1er Cru offers more a mix of red and black fruit on the nose compared to the Les Corbeaux. A subtle marine (kelp?) aroma develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, nicely weighted in the mouth with a fine line of acidity. This has more complexity and nuance than the Les Corbeaux at the moment, whilst the finish demonstrates a tad more flesh and persistence. Good potential but needs time. Tasted at the Domaine.
