Tasting notes
Particularly old vines. Some stems layered between the destemmed grapes in the fermentation vat. Cask sample. Annoying thick red wax foils. Bright garnet – not as purple as, say, the Geantet-Pansiot Gevreys. Seductive purple-fruit notes on the nose. Sweet palate entry but real energy on the palate. Quite a charge of fine tannins on the end. This is noticeably superior to many village Gevreys. Jean-Marie Fourrier has the pleasure recipe. Really vibrant finish. (JR)

(from six different lieux-dits). This too is notably ripe but fresh with a brooding nose of various wild dark berries, warm earth and pretty floral nuances. There is again excellent energy and tension to the intense, precise and muscular flavors that display outstanding complexity and sneaky good length. This offers unusually good quality for a Gevrey villages plus it is a wine that should amply repay up to a decade of cellaring. (90-92)/2027+
Bursting with notes of peonies, berry fruit, orange rind and spices, the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, lively and elegantly structured, with a deep core of fruit, ripe tannins and a lively, seamless profile.
