Quite a fragrant wine for this appellation, which majors in earthy power. Bold sour-cherry and blackberry fruit on the rather generous palate, a well crafted, solid base of tannins underling all the fruit. The two sides of the wine neatly interwoven on the positively firm finish. Drink or hold.

There are abundant blueberry and blackberry aromas, with a very fine savoury element and great finesse. The texture is structured and firm, but not heavy, and the wine lingers gently on the palate. This lovely example of village-level Gevrey is made with purchased fruit, including some classed in premier cru (about one-third). (Drink between 2025-2040)

The 2020 Gevrey villages is another fine AC from the Drouhin family. The nose is nicely precise and vibrant, jumping from the glass in a mix of cassis, black cherries, mustard seed, coffee bean, a nice touch of sweet stem tones, dark soil elements and a bit of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and precise, with lovely mid-palate depth, fine-grained tannins and excellent balance and grip on the long, complex finish. This bottling includes twenty-five to thirty percent premier cru in it this year!

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a very pure bouquet with dark cherries and blueberry, almost Chambolle-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very good weight, fine grip towards the structured finish. Very fine. (Drink between 2024-2038) - Neal Martin
