Tasting notes
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin "Les Jouises" Vieilles Vignes includes 25% new oak with 50% to 55% whole bunch. It has a very elegant bouquet, one of the most floral within the Heresztyn-Mazzini range. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good acidity, very classic in style with ample blackberry and bilberry fruit on the finish, a touch of tobacco and spice lingering on the aftertaste. Fine.

A restrained yet exceptionally pretty nose blends notes of lavender, rose petal and spice with those of red cherry, earth and a hint of wood. The decidedly rich and relatively full-bodied flavors manage to retain a comparatively refined mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the mineral-driven, linear and impressively persistent finish. This is pungently earthy yet somehow remains a Gevrey of grace. January 2018. www.burghound.com
