2014 Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey Chambertin Les Champonnets 1er Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy

The 2014 Gevre -Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnets had a few more stems than other cuvées. It has a refined bouquet, a little bashful at first and never exploding from the glass, more unfolding with each swirl of the glass with blackberry, raspberry and a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture red and black fruit mixed with sea salt, and that marine influence becomes more pronounced towards the finish. I admire the cohesion here. This might not be endowed with huge length, but this is compensated by its complexity and nuance. Drink 2018-2032.
