Tasting notes
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is also a notable success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, licorice and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's as concentrated as ever, with striking depth and mid-palate volume, but it's also especially seamless and suave this year, reflecting Loïc Dugat-Py's shift toward gentler winemaking and more discreet élevage.

Three different parcels – Les Epointures, Combe du Dessus and Les Marchais, next to Lavaut St-Jacques; vines aged 50 to 110 years (70 average). Cask sample. Deep, dark cherry; bright acidity; old-vine concentration – like a chewy fruit jelly; black-fruited, touch of smokiness (from the wood?). Long. (MH)
