Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a delightful bouquet with red cherry, crushed strawberry and light sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, juicy and generous with blood orange and a smear of marmalade towards the finish that perhaps does not quite deliver the complexity promised by the aromatics. Otherwise, this is a fine Champeaux.

Bottled. Rich, broad fruit on the nose. Smooth and almost soft. Relatively approachable in terms of the fruit but, again from this domaine, the acidity is not perfectly integrated. Slightly drying finish. (JR)
