2001 Gevrey Chambertin “Champeaux” - Fourrier
Medium/dark red with slight onion skin at edge.
Great floral, spicy, cinnamon/clove nose.
Powerful, firm, stony black cherry fruit entry led to a long, dry tannic finish.
This will age for many years and will need at least a decade to deliver optimum pleasure (unfortunately).
A beauty for those under 50…

I´ve tasted them from barrel: very impressive, concentrated, but balanced, especially fine Griottes, CSJ (incl. Cuvee Centenaire), Combe aux Moines and Chambolle Gruenchers … but the rest isn´t bad either …
The additionally purchased wines are slightly less impressive …
