Note di degustazione
(made from the estate's young vines in Chambertin, now 21 years old; 28 hectoliters per hectare produced): Good dark red. Aromas of raspberry, blueberry, cassis, anise, menthol and spices struck me as a bit Cabernet-like. Distinctly dark and surprisingly sappy in the mouth, if not especially expansive or complex. But this wine shows the suavity of texture of its origin and finishes piquant and firm, with sneaky rising length. A very good vintage for this bottling.

(50% new oak; totally destemmed): Bright dark red. Blackberry, licorice and violet complicated by a hint of dark chocolate on the slightly medicinal nose. At once smooth and juicy, showing moderate depth to the black cherry and mint flavors. This rather crunchy wine finishes with a touch of minerality but its serious tannins currently cut off the fruit. These younger Chambertin vines yielded a modest 23 hectoliters per hectare in 2015 but the older vines produced just 17, according to winemaker Nadine Gublin.
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the younger vines (20 years old) from the Chambertin Grand Cru (a bit like Mugneret-Gibourg's own Gevrey 1er Cru in Ruchottes up until the 2011 vintage). It has a crisp, mineral-driven bouquet, a little pinched at first but opening up with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and feels just a little oaky on the entry, although the second half is nicely balanced with a velvety smooth finish.
