Gevrey-Chambertin, Dix Climats, 2018
justerini & brooks tasting note
Lots of substance for a villages with very silky, ripe, smooth fruit. Engaging and glossy damson and wild dark berry flavours with a warming hint of kirsch and a spicy liquorice note. Generous rich and seductive. A Gevrey village blend of 10 different parcels. 30% whole bunch fermentation, ageing in 30% new oak.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Dix Climats" has a lovely blackberry and raspberry-scented nose with hints of pain d'épices and truffle in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, grainy in texture with a touch of herbaceousness (surprisingly) on the finish. Quite tricky to resist even at this early stage.
