2020 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Cask sample. Bit more focus and precision than the straight village wine. Needs longer to mesh together but there is fine purity and tension here. Classy, dark-fruit oriented. Will age very well. (AWH)

(69+ year old vines located in Au Vell , En Champs, Les Marchais, Vignes Belle, Les Crais and Etelois). A slightly riper if otherwise similar nose introduces equally sleek, vibrant and delineated medium-bodied flavors possess better density and a lovely texture while displaying a refreshing salinity on the firm, serious and built-to-age finish. This wine has an excellent track record for developing well and the 2020 version should be no exception provided it is allowed to do so. (89-92)/2028+
