The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has been a consistent performer at the domaine. It has a clean and precise bouquet although it does not quite convey the same energy and fruit concentration as the Morey-Saint-Denis. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, elegant and bright with tart red fruit with a tang of spice towards the finish. This seems to meliorate as it goes on.

(less than 25% new oak here): Healthy dark red. Very pure but subdued nose shows some soil tones to go with the black raspberry and spices. Broader, drier and more classic than the Morey villages; perhaps richer but less expressive today and a bit dominated by its spicy oak element. Made from four parcels: La Justice, Bel-Air, Seuvrées and Craite-Paille.

Transparent crimson. Silky and perfumed and sweet. Very hedonistic. Lighter than the average Gevrey but very juicy and fun! Really nice wine. Great balance and approachability already.
