Tasting Notes

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champonnets 1er Cru displays impressive intensity on the nose (if not the finesse that a nobler Premier Cru vineyard might bestow), offering tertiary red fruit, a touch of baking powder and some vanilla from the new oak. The taut, linear palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and a dash of spice on the finish that just needs to develop more aftertaste with bottle age. Not bad overall, though I am inclined to afford this another couple of years. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Score: 90

Bright, dark red. Sappy aromas of hard cherry candy and rose petal come across as fresher and more perfumed than those of the 2016 version. Wonderfully sappy and juicy in the mouth, conveying a touch of creaminess but no sign of surmaturité. There's an almost Chambolle-like minerality here but this seriously intense wine is silky and seamless, with the balance and structure to support extended aging. Finishes with superb subtle length and totally buffered tannins. As showy as this compelling premier cru is right now, it would be a shame not to lay it down.

Score: 94

There is a hint of the sauvage present on the kirsch and earth-scented aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense flavors possess both ample minerality and muscle before terminating in a gorgeously textured, long and impressive complex finale. Villages level Gevrey rarely gets much better than this. Highly recommended.

Score: 89 - 92
