Pierre Naigeon - Gevrey-Chambertin - Les Corvées - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

The 2017 Red Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corvées, on the same climate as the Rebourseau estate, delivers intense notes of black fruits and licorice with a nice toasty palette. The strong opening gives way to a nice mid palate with raspberry flavors and a slightly tannic finish. A wine to be decanted before serving with stewed or spicy meat. It is still a young wine, we can wait another 5 years or more. Rated 94/100 by the Committee.

Nice liquorice notes underlined by woody touches.
