Domaines Philippe CHARLOPIN (Gevrey-Chambertin), HARMAND-GEOFFROY (Gevrey-Chambertin), and Cécile TREMBLAY (Morey-Saint-Denis) -- 2018 Tasted from Barrel Samples


The first two estates are moving to a style that is less extracted and (to my palate) more balanced. The third one has always been there.




Philippe CHARLOPIN


2018 Charmes-Chambertin
Very reductive nose and mouth with layered dark fruits, but some lightness on the palate. (92-94)

2018 Mazis-Chambertin
Less extracted than in past. Oaky, dark fruits, dense, sappy. (91-93)




HARMAND-GEOFFROY


2018 Gevrey-Chambertin    1er Cru   Lavaux Saint-Jacques
Red fruits, minerality, purity, acidity, freshness. (92-93)

2018 Charmes-Chambertin
Elegant, medium-light in weight, nice purity, creamy texture. (91-94)

2018 Mazis-Chambertin
Light in weight, ripe dark fruits. (90-92)




Cécile TREMBLAY


2018 Chapelle-Chambertin
Dark fruits, good energy, a touch of sweetness from the fruit, smooth texture. (93-95)
