INSIDE BURGUNDY - Jasper Morris - "A blend of many lots, Pressonnier, Sylvie, the plot in front of the domaine, Champs Chenys. Mid crimson purple. A discreet bouquet with little red fruits, probably more of a strawberry tendency. Quite graceful, a little warmth behind. Some fine tannins. Medium length. Racked to tank." Drink 2028-2032.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a blend of five lieux-dits picked at the end of the harvest on September 22nd. This was tasted from two glasses, the traditional Burgundy glass is far superior. The nose offers finely delineated red cherry and crushed strawberry notes. The palate is clean and pure, framed by fine tannins, with the 35% new oak just rounding out the finish.
