Tasting notes
There are just two barrels of the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru this year, partly due to the hail damage. It has a delightful bouquet with precise black and red fruit laced with sea cave-like aromas, gradually opening in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red cherry fruit, fine mineralité , quite tensile with plenty of energy emitting from the tensile finish. Excellent.

Notes of cassis, currant leaf, plums and loamy soil introduce the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux, a medium-bodied wine that was among the firmer, tighter-knit cuvées in the cellar when I tasted it, offering up only an inkling as to its ultimate outline. If it fleshes out by the time it's bottled, my score may look conservative.
