Tasting notes
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a blend of La Justice and Croix des Champs as in previous years. It has an attractive bouquet with blueberry and blackberry fruit, the oak a little prominent at the moment although that will be subsumed with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, plenty of black fruit tinged with black olive and a long, sustained, minerally finish. This is a great village cru.

One new cask out of eight. Lots of whole bunch, 45-50%. From Croix des Champs east of the RN74 and La Justice. Wrong side of the road, supposedly. But viticulture counters that. Big and bold with a hint of oak on the end. Sweet and friendly. Chewy finish but it should be a cheerful friend in the medium term. Very bright fruit. Chalky finish.
