Tasting notes
Healthy bright red. Lively aromas of dark raspberry, licorice, spices and orange zest. Nicely juicy, savory wine with good intensity and cut to its raspberry and saline mineral flavors. Finishes with a lingering note of dark berries and firm, nicely buffered tannins.

Dark red-ruby. Smoky, slightly rustic dark fruit aromas; still reduced after a late malolactic fermentation. Tightly wound and intense, showing good lift and length to its black cherry and licorice flavors. Hard to judge today owing to the elevated level of CO2 but appears to have good potential.
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin les Seuvrées, which comes from two parcels planted in 1956 and 1966, had a touch of reduction on the nose (it was actually the last to go through malolactic). The palate is nicely balanced with a bit of sinew on the entry. Firm structured here, a little static at the moment, but the finish demonstrates sufficient detail and freshness to suggest that it's just a question of time.
