The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux bursts with aromas of peonies, dried flowers, sweet berry fruit and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a layered core of succulent fruit framed by powdery tannins. This is an elegantly rendered Champeaux that will be approachable young.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru comes from 33-year-old vines adjacent to Evocelles. The nose takes more time to settle compared to the Champerrier, gradually evolving attractive briar and black currant aromas and sous-bois and mulch-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied and gently grippy on the entry. This is more structured than the Champerrier, with a little chewiness on the finish. Good potential, but it needs three to five years in bottle.

15% whole bunch. Bottled. Pretty on the nose – the aroma takes me more to Morey than Gevrey but it is darker and more spicy on the palate. Elegant, refined, already married and surprisingly accessible. Moderate length but very elegant. (JH)
