CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux is raised entirely in new wood and includes around 70% whole cluster fruit. It has a slight reduction on the nose that makes it difficult to pin down, whilst the palate displays good structure and sense of symmetry, dense but fresh with a grippy, quite assertive finish. This is very fine.

67% whole bunch. 100% new oak. (Petite Chapelle was still going through malolactic fermentation.) Dark crimson. Just a little reduced but lots of matter here and glossy fruit. Sweet start with a hint of gunpowder. Really quite explosive on the nose. Medium weight. Slightly drying on the end. Needs time.
