Other Reviews....
The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnets saw 65% whole bunch fruit and 65% new oak, and saw no pigeage in this vintage—just remontage. It has a lovely oyster shell scent complementing the black fruit on the nose, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple in the mouth with crisp acidity, a perfect combination of power and refinement. What a gorgeous wine from the domaine! Dare I say that it must surely be the best they have produced from this premier cru vineyard.

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate #228 (Dec 2016)

Generous wood presently frames the earthy, spicy and overtly floral dark berry fruit nose that possesses a liqueur-like quality. There is excellent power to the broad-shouldered, rich and naturally sweet flavors that brim with palate coating dry extract on the sleek but quite serious finish where about the only nit is a hint of warmth. This very promising effort is very Gevrey in style and has the structure to prove it - patience required.
