If you want to taste a textbook Gevrey-Chambertin, this is a very representative blend combining fruit from over 30 different parcels across the appellation.

Lithe and delineated, this red features pure cherry, raspberry, iron and tobacco flavors. Tightly wound now, but shows excellent balance and length overall. Best from 2024 through 2040. 3,100 cases made, 110 cases imported.

Structuré, il offre un fruit assez tonique, une chair moelleuse et une bonne envergure de saveurs, avec une finale assez ferme.
