"This Gevrey is immediately seductive with its intense yet elegant aromatic expression of black fruits, licorice and a well-integrated touch of wood. The palate shows great harmony: fruit, skilfully balanced ageing, firm but fine-grained tannins and a long, fresh finish. A wine to look forward to in the coming years. The 2015 vintage at its best".
