Gevrey Chambertin, Mes Cinq Terroirs, 2020
From vineyards all on the north side of Gevrey, the cuvee Mes Cinq Terroirs was re-born in 2013 and seems to be growing in refinement and polish every time we taste it. Intense, dancing floral notes with super fine red berries, forest fruits and firm fresh tannins. A simply stunning Gevrey villages which is clearly greater than the sum of its parts. Fermented with a third whole bunches and just 20% new oak – a proportion which has steadily come down over the years.
critic reviews
A terrific effort, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, warm spices and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, its rich core of fruit is framed by ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids.
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin "Mes Cinq Terroirs" comes from the north of the appellation near Brochon. Entirely whole bunch with 20% new oak, this has a fragrant bouquet with captivating purity, a real "punters’ nose" (everyone will like it!) The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, a fine thread of acidity with a flinty, dessicated orange peel tinged finish. Superb.
