Tasting Notes and Scores

89-91 NM

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ shows a little more amplitude than the regular Gevrey Village. Perfumed wilted rose petal scents and crushed stone infuse the transparent red fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a crunchy opening. A brittle-boned Gevrey (and I write that in a positive sense) with a stony, mineral-driven finish. Great persistence here. Superb.

Le Clos is followed by the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champ, from a parcel planted between 1969 and 1973 on the Brochon side of the appellation where soils are stonier. Exhibiting aromas of cherries, cassis, forest floor and truffles, it's medium to full-bodied and a bit more tangy and structured, with good length and definition on the finish.
