Note di degustazione
(bottled at the end of May): Medium red. Slightly roasted aromas of cherry, raspberry and smoke came as a shock following the collection of '16s. Fat, plush and sweet for this bottling, but its chocolatey fullness is nicely leaved by surprising minerality. Cellarmaster Philippe Brun vinified most of the estate's '15s with about 30% whole clusters, which has clearly provided an added element of firmness. Still, he believes that the '15s are unlikely to go through an extended closed period.

(from vines planted on rock, close to Ruchottes-Chambertin): Medium palish red. Subtle, somewhat reduced scents of raspberry, strawberry, smoke and earth. A step up in sweetness and pliancy from the village Gevrey, but with pungent minerality enlivening the middle palate. Offers an impression of breadth without weight and finishes with nicely buffered tannins. Lovely potential here.
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny, a monopole of the domaine, has a delightful bouquet with lively red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is well balanced with sappy red berry fruit overlaying the fine tannins. It fans out towards the finish, offering enticing orange rind and blood orange notes that infuse the tart aftertaste. Lovely, just a really lovely Gevrey-Chambertin.
