Gevrey Chambertin en Champs, Maxime Cheurlin-Noellat 2015

Tasting Notes

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs is a second new offering from Maxime Chuerlin, winemaker at Domaine Georges Noellat, which comes from purchased grapes and labelled under his own name. It sees around 50% new oak. It has a lifted nose of dark berries, cranberry, undergrowth and an almost peat-like scent. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of crunchy red berry fruit that appear to soak up the new oak with ease, allowing the terroir to show through on the effervescent finish. This is worth seeking out - just three and a half barrels produced, however.
