Description
// Organic, very limited allocation.
From the lieu-dit of Champs Franc directly below the village of Gevrey Chambertin. This parcel is newly leased by Sebastien Cathiard with 2019 being the first vintage. All vineyard work is carried out by Sebastiens vineyard team. The tannins in this wine are notably very fine.
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, matured in 55% new oak, has an effervescent bouquet of red fruit, orange zest and a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky entry. Quite plush for a Gevrey, perhaps this is one where I might just dial down the new oak a tad. This is a precocious and attractive Gevrey, but it will need two or three years to soak up the wood." - Neal Martin
"Sauvage and earth-suffused dark berry fruit aromas precede the lilting and relatively refined flavors that also possess fine delineation on the dusty, delicious and balanced finale that offers solid depth and persistence. There is a touch of youthfully austere so a few years of cellaring should be beneficial." - Allen Meadows
