justerini & brooks tasting note

A fine, cool village vineyard situated on the northern side of Gevrey. The 2020 opens up with a cool, fresh-berried nose, some tangy fruit skin and black raspberry notes with lovely, detailed tannins. Overall one senses a certain shyness at the moment but with a good amount of concentration and power underlying. This is all very well put together and has everything in place to develop nicely. Likely to be one of the best value picks. Fully destemmed and aged in 40% new oak.

critic reviews

89-91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs has a little more volume on the nose compared to the "Dix Climats", the fruit slightly darker with hints of blueberry and iris flower. The palate is well-balanced with supple, quite fleshy tannins, slightly confit-towards the finish that just shaves away a little sophistication. Otherwise, this should give 10-12 years of drinking pleasure.
