The full, earthy and smoky nose with nice cherries and floral nuances, draws you into this generous Gevrey-Chambertin that has a solid tannic base. The long finish is quite dry, so better from 2021.

Wine Spectator, May 2020

Ripe, with an earthy cast to the black cherry, black currant and sweet spice flavors. Rich and pliable in texture, this is harmonious, building to a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2022 through 2036. 500 cases...
