2024, Domaine Henri Magnien, GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, 1er Cru, 'Les Champeaux'

Slightly more wood influence frames the distinctly sauvage and forest floor-inflected aromas of wild red currant and spice. The super-sleek, precise and intense flavors exude a bracing minerality on the bitter pit fruit, long and chiseled finale. Promising.
Outstanding.
90-93 Burghound.

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru, which sees no new oak, has a fragrant bouquet with pressed violet infusing the delineated red berry fruit, just a hint of crushed stones and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite tensile and minerally, not a powerful Gevrey but certainly well balanced with a sapid finish that gets the saliva flowing. 2027-2040.
92 Neal Martin, Vinous.

No new wood, all one-year-old barrels ex Cazetiers, his habit for the last three years. A brighter ruby crimson colour. Some positive red fruits, more raspberry here, with some tannin but refined enough, adequate acidity, an understated wine that nevertheless builds as it progresses across the palate. A fine graceful finish.
