Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Aromas of sweet plums, spices, licorice and forest floor introduce the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine built around lively acids and supple, powdery tannins.
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées has quite a backward nose at first with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla infusing the red berry fruit. Floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, quite elegant with nicely-pitched acidity, edgy with impressive mineralité on the finish. Recommended - this shows the pedigree of this lieu-dit.
About the Producer
For vinifications and ageing, our methods are little interventionist.The fruit’s quality is essential to craft 24 great wines. We make fresh, fine and elegant wines which are also full bodied with a long lasting and mouth-watering finish. Each of our terroirs (Clos de la Roche, Morey, Gevrey-Chambertin, …) expresses itself through our wines. Our ageing in barrels (20 to 30% new oak) is rather long (20 or 22 months), on lees and without racking after malolactic fermentation. The wines are bottled using gravity, without fining in order to keep the wine’s freshness and its ageing potential.
