The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru contains 20% whole bunch with 50% new oak. There is a very tiny reduction here but there is plenty of red berry fruit with touches of orange pith. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, very cohesive and fine tuned towards the pixelated finish. Very long, very finessed.
Mild reduction masks everything but background nuances of spice and earth. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate density as well as a taut muscularity while displaying solid length on the dusty and youthfully austere finale. This will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my predicted range.
