Gevrey Chambertin, En Champs, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Beautifully briary and umami driven flavours, with cool dark fruit, touches of earth and minerals below, and a fine touch of salty, dark fruit and orange peel on the finish. A fine, cool village vineyard situated on the northern side of Gevrey. Fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in 40% new oak.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs has a delightful bouquet with the new oak a little more evident than the other cuvées, but that will be subsumed with age. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and fresh, crisp acidity. The 20% whole bunch imparts pepperiness on the finish. This is another cuvée that is a step up from the 2022 vintage and comes recommended.
