Vinous

(these vines, originally planted in the 1930s, yielded 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2016): Moderately saturated medium red. Reticent aromas of black cherry and licorice, with a hint of rose petal. A step up in sweetness and plushness from the other Gevrey village wine, offering a distinctly silkier, creamier texture and a slightly roasted hint of strawberry preserves. This very harmonious wine finishes with suave, fully buffered tannins but decent acidity. Showing the ripe side of 2016. 01/2018

Inside Burgundy

0.47ha planted 1930. This is very classy, almost more Chambolle than Gevrey. There is suave and seamless dark red fruit, beautiful elegance, really extremely classy, with a profile of lacy, sweet red fruit and a perfect finish. Heading towards the ethereal. Tasted Oct 2017.
