Tasting notes
Rich and dramatic, the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes bursts with aromas of ripe cherries, dark chocolate, plums and cassis, complemented by hints of rose petals and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, this is nicely balanced in its gourmand, fleshy style.

Cherry in colour and aroma. Sweet and pure fruit on the nose, open and scented. Highly aromatic. On the palate, the structure is really fine boned but just right to shape the fruit. Elegant, long, a fresh beauty. I find it hard to suggest drink dates when the wines are so open and inviting already but they will surely age well? (JH)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er Cru feels a little reduced on the nose at first, but eventually black cherries, iodine and violet aromas begin to make their presence felt. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, strict and linear and perhaps not quite "kicking on" toward the finish, leaving you wanting more. Has it got something up its sleeve?
