Bought and drank at a French restaurant in DC. Smooth tannins, could use a couple more years to smooth out the rough edges, but has the classic French burgundy flavor profile.

I really liked this; the nose has taken on a lovely mineral note that I don't recall from my initial tasting, but it is beneficial; the fruit is otherwise ripe and pure with some hints of underbrush, violet, and sauvage. The palate has tightened up a bit, but remains really quite open and showing the ripe fruit of the vintage, but with a lovely freshness from the mineral hint; feels fresher and more energetic than many '15s I've tasted with no less depth.

Totally delicious, fruit forward style but really great deep ripe black fruit. Will be elegant in 10 years but the full 15 vintage style ensures enjoyable and delicious drinking now.

ripe almost liqueur like red berry fruits (strawberry, raspberry); floral notes with a hint of sauvage and earthy notes; has lovely concentration and depth on the palate for a village wine; good finish; very good

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Black fruit, also nicely elegant for Gevrey, with an elegant lighter style, nicely approachable. Pretty and enjoyable young.
