Tasting notes
They 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has an elegant and refined bouquet with pretty red cherries, raspberry preserve and rose petals scents - one of the most charming from Fourrier this year. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite tensile from the start and there is a spicy undercurrent that becomes more noticeable towards the finish. There is fine tension and energy here, with a potent peppery aftertaste. Good potential.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux is superb, offering up attractive aromas of cassis, cherries, raspberries, potpourri and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent palate with excellent depth and length. It's a charming, flavorful wine that will deliver immense pleasure over a broad drinking window.
From the north side of Gevrey: this vineyard is in shade in the afternoon and gets a breeze from the Combe de Lavaut. North of the village. Riper, richer and darker than the Cherbaudes on the nose, lightly peppery. On the palate too there’s a dark rocky finesse and ultra-fine tannic texture highlighted by that freshness. Opens up to black cherry but not sweet. Dry but juicy. Lovely. (JH)
