Tasting notes
Aromas of wild berries, cherries, sweet spices and petals introduce the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux, a medium to full-bodied, lively and muscular wine that's deep and concentrated, built around bright acids and an elegantly muscular chassis of tannins. Seamless and complete, this is beautifully balanced for the long haul.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champeaux 1er Cru comes from 50- and 70-year-old vines. This is the one cuvée that was showing the imprimatur of the growing season; it was just a little too heady for my liking. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, sweet and candied, but just missing the same level of clarity on the finish as, say, the Fonteny or Corbeaux.
