Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jul 18
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village feels a little reduced on the nose, not as expressive as Boursot’s other 2016s at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, quite sturdy in style, more Morey-Saint-Denis perhaps with a gentle but insistent grip towards the finish. It feels just a tad “chunky” at the moment and needs to forage more finesse in bottle.

These wines are known for bold flavours, complex aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, truffles, and spices, with robust structure and excellent ageing potential. The appellation includes nine Grand Cru vineyards, notably Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Top producers like Domaine Armand Rousseau, Domaine Fourrier, and Domaine Denis Mortet craft wines that reflect the unique terroir and tradition of Gevrey-Chambertin.
