Tasting notes
Revisited from bottle, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village bursts with aromas of plums and sweet berry fruit, complemented by notions of loamy soil, espresso roast and smoked meats. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and succulent, with melting tannins framing its fleshy core of fruit.

Mid to light crimson. Plenty of sweet oak spice on the nose over the red fruits. And the oak seems to dominate on the palate too and thicken the texture. Not my favourite style and only just fresh enough. (JH)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, aged in 70% new oak, feels a little reduced on the nose, not quite as expressive on the same day I tasted others. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin and here there is a little more brightness, but the wood tannins tend to dictate the dry finish a little.
