Tasting notes
Much more interest and expressiveness on the nose than their Vieilles Vignes, with herby notes as well as redcurrant and raspberry. Characterful and spicy on the palate. Fine tannic grain gives a light outline to the finish. (RH)

The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin Clos Village includes 50% whole bunch fruit with 30% new oak, albeit with a different origin of wood from Fontainebleu, which gives less toastiness. It has a bright, cranberry and crushed strawberry scented bouquet with sous-bois and light tobacco scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little stalky perhaps but it remains cohesive and there is decent weight towards the black pepper/spice infused finish. Fine.
A subtle application of wood can be found on the earthy mix of floral, red currant and dark cherry scents. There is better volume if perhaps slightly less energy suffusing the middle weight and caressing flavors that deliver sneaky good length and better depth. This should be relatively approachable young. January 2018. www.burghound.com
