Depth but not much aroma. Clean and polished but pretty embryonic. Some bitter-cherry element. Very much unformed though. (JR)

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs is the second bottling from the vineyard that was, until then, blended into the village cru. The vines here around 60 years old, and this vintage includes 20% whole bunch and around 40% new oak. It has a refined bouquet with red cherries and hints of blue fruit, then touches of damp woodland percolating through over time. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, orange pith-tinged entry, fine tannin with dark berry fruit, bay leaf and a touch of black tea toward the finish. Classy.
