Tasting notes
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru is quite reduced on the nose, sultry and quite stemmy at the moment, though I think it will improve with age. The palate is medium-bodied with a savory opening, modest depth and quite dry tannins. Truffle and dark chocolate appear toward the finish, which feels just a little dry, but maybe it will come good with bottle age. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes bursts with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, orange rind, cinnamon, peonies and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a fleshy and open-knit core that's framed by melting tannins and lively acids, concluding with a perfumed finish.
