2020 Gevrey Chambertin Les Seuvrees
Buying options
Tasting Notes
One third whole bunch, no new wood. 13% as finished wine, picked at 12.5%. An even, crimson purple, the nose is quite gentle, but the fruit grows well behind, strawberry aromas with a savoury touch, good acidity and very persistent. A success.

With one-third whole bunch and no new oak, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées has another crisp and precise bouquet with that wilted rose petal leitmotif coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy cranberry and strawberry. There is just the right amount of bitterness on the finish that gets the saliva flowing. Give this three or four years in bottle just to shave its edges.
