One of the highlights of the range this year is the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes, a lovely wine that exhibits notes of plums, raspberries, peonies, orange rind and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming, with powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's the finest rendition of this site that I can remember tasting chez Fourrier.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er Cru has an almost Morey-like personality on the nose: dark berry fruit, granitic scents, touches of forest floor and wild mushroom. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, clean and crisp, not a powerful Gevrey-Chambertin, but precise and quite pixelated towards the finish. Give this 4-6 years in bottle.

Tank sample. Mid cherry. Silken red and black raspberry. Absolute cusp of maturity. Great depth and finesse. (MH)
