Neal Martin, January 2019, Score: 91-93
They 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has an elegant and refined bouquet with pretty red cherries, raspberry preserve and rose petals scents - one of the most charming from Fourrier this year. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite tensile from the start and there is a spicy undercurrent that becomes more noticeable towards the finish. There is fine tension and energy here, with a potent peppery aftertaste. Good potential. 2022 - 2040

Reduction presently undermines the purity of the nose. Otherwise, the sleek, intense and beautifully vibrant medium weight flavors exhibit plenty of minerality on the balanced and impressively persistent if youthfully austere finish. This lovely effort is very Champeaux in character and the dense but fine supporting tannins are quite sophisticated. Good stuff. Drink 2029+

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux is superb, offering up attractive aromas of cassis, cherries, raspberries, potpourri and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent palate with excellent depth and length. It's a charming, flavorful wine that will deliver immense pleasure over a broad drinking window.
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
