Jean Michel Guillon, Gevrey Chambertin Champonnets Size:12x750ml Moderate but not invasive wood

Moderate but not invasive wood sets off overtly floral red and dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally spiked with warm earth and spice wisps

This is perfectly good but not at its usual level

Jean Michel Guillon, Gevrey Chambertin Champonnets Size:12x750ml Moderate but not invasive woodModerate reduction is enough to dominate the fruit today but there is very good freshness and verve to the big bodied, bold and robust flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the strikingly complex and persistent finale. Champonnets is always better in very warm and or hot vintages and 2018 is a fine example of that.
