2016 Gevrey Chambertin

Tasting notes
Healthy dark red. Reduced, soil-driven scents of raspberry, smoke and fresh blood. Conveys more texture and ripeness than the Chambolle villages but with plenty of balancing acidity. This juicy midweight offers an enticing red cherry sweetness in the middle palate and finishes with red berries and spices. Here the tannins are nicely broad and well supported by the wine's material.

The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin, matured in 10% new oak, has a gentle bouquet that feels timid at first, then gains confidence to offer raspberry coulis and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, not as structured as the Morey-Saint-Denis, prioritizing precision on the finish. This should drink well for several years.
