  April 10, 2021 - 2016 Domaine Vigot Fabrice Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes was complex, earthy and savoury. The developing Gevrey Pinot Noir was clear and medium ruby in colour with traces of fine sediments. Expressive notes of farmyard and liqourice jumped out of the glass. With two hours of in-bottle aeration, aromas of red cherry, bramble and rose emerged, complemented by gaminess underneath.
  
  The mouthfeel was dry and medium-bodied, balanced by medium-high level of acidity and medium level of finely grained tannin. Flavours of wild blackberry, violet and earth persisted in a rather long savoury finish. It was a classic example of an earthy and savoury Gevrey. The alcohol level was at 13.45%.
  
  The grapes were sourced from the village-level climats Les Etelois and Les Crais. The grapes were partially destemmed (70%). The wine was aged for sixteen months in 20% new 228-litre tonneaux. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined.

  April 5, 2021 - This is quite mediocre. Upon opening, just a fecal, not particularly pleasant “earthy” bent to the nose, with a bit of thin but kirsch-y fruit. The palate isn’t much better; scooped-out, with a hollow midpalate and no finish to speak of. Disappointing.
