The Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Les Champonnets is a deep, dense and complex wine with attitude! The nose is quite floral – lilacs – with a slight mineral component. The fruit notes are reminiscent of damson plums with a touch of black pepper. On the palate, it is restrained, yet brooding, with an opulent, mouth-filling quality and an intense, mineral texture. This is a stunning wine and definitely age-worthy!

Reviews
The 2014 Gevre -Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnets had a few more stems than other cuvées. It has a refined bouquet, a little bashful at first and never exploding from the glass, more unfolding with each swirl of the glass with blackberry, raspberry and a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture red and black fruit mixed with sea salt, and that marine influence becomes more pronounced towards the finish. I admire the cohesion here. This might not be endowed with huge length, but this is compensated by its complexity and nuance.
An attractively spicy nose features notes of earth and dark currant along with floral and sauvage nuances. There is excellent volume to the muscular, dense and powerful flavors that deliver excellent length on the moderately austere finale. This serious and built-to-age effort stops just short of rusticity and is well-worth considering provided that you have the patience to cellar it for at least 7 to 8 years.
