2017 Gevray Chambertin 1er Cru

Tasting notes:

Deep ruby with flashes of violet, the wine opens with a captivating bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild raspberry, and blackberry, layered with forest floor, black truffle, and subtle licorice. Gentle oak ageing adds a whisper of spice and smoky minerality. The palate is elegant yet structured, marrying concentrated fruit with earthy, savoury notes. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide both backbone and freshness, carrying through to a long, nuanced finish that lingers with the hallmark power and elegance of Gevrey-Chambertin. Enjoyable now for its energy and purity, but with the substance to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.

The 2020 vintage, widely hailed across Burgundy, delivered purity, concentration, and remarkable balance—qualities that shine in this poised and age-worthy Pinot Noir.
