Product Description
This is also exuberantly fresh with its assortment of red currant, plum, and violet aromas that are liberally interwoven with notes of forest floor and earth. While there is more volume and concentration to the medium-bodied flavors it remains wonderfully vibrant with ample minerality to the mouth coating, powerful and moderately firm finish. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and highly recommended.

91 Point : Wine Spectator
A smoky, toasty layer of oak covers cherry, earth and tobacco flavors in this dense red. Both fluid and firmly structured, with an extended, mouthwatering finish. Not showing a lot of flesh now, but should repay after a few years in the cellar. Best from 2021 through 2033.
90 Point : Decanter
Lean, minty nose of cherry and blueberry. Sleek and silky on the attack, with ample spice and good weight of fruit. Assertive acidity now, but the tannins are fine-grained and this should evolve well. Quite long.
