Tasting notes
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village offers dark berry fruit, touches of clove and spice box on the nose, gradually opening with time, though not as opulent as some of its peers. The palate is quite powerful for a Village Cru. It has a fine grip with a silver bead of acidity, fanning out towards the finish with orange zest-infused dark red fruit. This is a very capable Village Cru.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has turned out brilliantly, combining the substance of its 2018 predecessor with the charm and elegance of the domaine's 2017. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with hints of spices, coniferous forest floor and smoke (much as it did in barrel), it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, its generous core of fruit framed by fine tannins and bright acids. It will offer an unusually broad drinking window. Indeed, I already drank a bottle with immense pleasure.
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, raised in 40% new oak, has a very pure and charming bouquet, the pure black cherries commingling with raspberry and subtle floral scents. The palate is well balanced with crunchy red berry fruit and a pinch of white pepper. This is a little compact at the moment, yet there is wonderful precision from start to finish. Excellent.
