Tasting notes
Good medium red. Medicinal cherry, licorice and menthol on the youthfully withdrawn nose. Then subtly sweet and sappy on the palate, conveying a juicy character to its black cherry, licorice and violet flavors. A bit tight but not hard, this wine showed a rounder quality with some aeration. Finishes with sneaky rising length. This wine was less expressive 15 months ago from barrel but today its greater depth of flavor is apparent.

(a blend of Craipillots and Perrière): Bright dark red. Reticent but pure scents of cherry and flowers. Densely packed and very ripe, but less precise and a bit more monolithic in the early going than the village Gevrey. Sappy and sweet but less easy to taste today.
The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru, the usual assemblage of Les Craipillot and La Perriere, has a perfumed and quite floral nose with well-defined black fruit (blackberry with a touch of cranberry leaf), and it exudes superb tension and sense of energy. The palate is beautifully defined with crisp acidity, lively raspberry and cranberry fruit with wonderful harmony and cohesion towards the elegant finish. Class, pure class—one of the best premier cru Gevrey-Chambertins from the domaine.
