Gevrey Charmbertin, En Champs,

A fine old vines (60-year-old) ‘lieu-dit’ situated just underneath the Champeaux 1er Cru on a gentle slope, one of the very best terroirs for Gevrey Villages. The old vines give this great depth and complexity but not heaviness, whilst the poor limestone soils add great finesse. Fluid, elegant, lively and refreshing, supremely fine but not too slender even if it is a different profile to typical Gevrey; there is excellent mid-palate richness and weight though, too, bright soft flavours of cherry, rich damson, mineral, red berries and dried flowers; stunning.
