Slightly more elegant aromas are comprised by notes of black raspberry, rose petal and newly turned earth, along with a hint of menthol. The delicious and relatively supple medium-bodied flavors possess reasonably good...

The 2020 en Jouise bottling chez Harmand is a bit riper in personality than the straight Gevrey AC, and not quite as elegant as a result. The black fruity and sappy nose jumps from the glass in a mix of black cherries...

The 2020 Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin En Jouise is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, produced in the Gevrey Chambertin appellation in the Cote de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy, France. This vintage comes sealed with a traditional cork and has an alcohol content of 14.0%.

John Gilman, a reviewer from "View From The Cellar," provided a comprehensive review of this wine on November 1, 2021, awarding it a score of 90. According to Gilman, the 2020 En Jouise bottling "is a bit riper in personality than the straight Gevrey AC," suggesting it might appeal to those who prefer a more fruit-forward profile. The wine's nose is described as "black fruity and sappy," with aromas of black cherries, dark berries, hung game, chocolate, bonfire, dark soil tones, and cedary oak.

On the palate, the wine is described as "full-bodied, sappy and shows copious quantity of fruit at the core," which indicates a rich and luscious mouthfeel. Gilman notes the presence of "seamless tannins, tangy acids and a long, ripe and buxom finish." He also mentions that the wine "flirts with sur maturité just a bit," drawing a comparison to red Burgundies from 1990, which were known for their ripe characteristics.

While Gilman points out that the 2020 En Jouise is "not quite as refined in personality this year as the regular AC bottling," he acknowledges its depth and potential, stating it has "stuffing to burn." This suggests that, although this wine may lack some finesse, it compensates with its robust character and complexity.

In summary, the 2020 Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin En Jouise is a richly flavored Pinot Noir with a bold personality, offering a range of dark fruit and earthy tones. It may not be as elegant as other offerings from the producer, but it delivers in terms of depth and fullness, making it a substantial choice for those who appreciate a bolder Burgundy.
