Annual Roi Chambertin tasting: 2016 Gevreys from village to grand cru (Espace Chambertin, Bourgogne): Very old vines floral and elegant. A bit high toned, to me at least, but the ripeness is there and should be lovely with steak. Michael Apstein got some vanilla oak sweetness, as well. But we both agreed that it is more like a Chambolle, with silky tannins. Another wine I want to purchase if the price is not too crazy expensive (the way of fine Burgundy these days, alas).
