Denis Mortet, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques other_regions_italy Cellarmaster Hervé Deschamps’ first solo

Cellarmaster Hervé Deschamps’ first solo vintage and still one of his best

Ripe and attractively fresh aromas include those of black cherry coulis

It's a wine for fans of the style and needs several years in bottle to balance its tannins

A slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium-full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced

By contrast, there is excellent vibrancy and punch to the intensely mineralinflected medium weight flavors that possess fine delineation and a lovely sense of underlying tension on the complex, persistent and palate staining finish. This is really quite impressive and worth considering. 93 2019+
