Tasting notes
The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a fragrant, almost Vosne-like bouquet that borrows some of the violet aromas you often find in the latter appellation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, quite compact, maybe a little pinched towards the finish but demonstrating decent length. Not bad, although I might afford it another 12 to 18 months in bottle. Tasted at Flint Wines’ Arlaud retrospective.

Good bright. full red. Musky animal reduction to the aromas of purple fruits and violet, with a spicy element providing lift. A tightly wound midweight with no excess flesh; much more black and purple fruit than red in character. Finishes firmly tannic and serious, with a faint dryness. These vines were harvested at the end.
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Villages is matured in used oak barrels. It has a more citric bouquet compared to the Chambolle Musigny Village, but with pleasant brightness and vigor. The palate is fresh and vibrant with chalky tannin, quite Morey-like in terms of its austere finish, but it should fill out by the time of bottling.
