I really enjoy this one. Dark fruit, blackberry, cherry, but mild in body and acidity with a low tannin finish. Perfect with a Chilean sea bass cooked perfectly with a caper, raisin reduction sauce. But can go with many other dishes given its balance across the spectrum. At a $100 price point, this is one of my go-to Gevrey-Chambertins.

Just a very nice, balanced, champagne. Served with fresh smoked salmon, cheese puffs and bruschetta appetizers before a dinner with 8. Loved the cantaloupe, pear, mild acidity, small bubbles, lush finish. Would buy more if i can find it.

Dark berries, oak, tobacco up front but just too much in the tannin category to enjoy - super dry on the back end to the point where it tasted like licking rocks. Maybe I’m wrong but not convinced this will benefit from more age.
