Jean-Michel Guillon, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru ’Les Champonnets’ 2019

Subtle though not invisible wood is present on the ripe and fresh sauvage-inflected aromas of wild dark berries, anise and newly turned earth. There is excellent volume to the rich and well-muscled flavors that display abundant minerality on the youthfully austere and strikingly long finale. This bold effort should amply reward 15+ years of cellaring and will need at least a decade first. In a word, excellent.
