These wines are attractive for drinking, but present a conundrum for the Burgundy-lover because there is not much differentiation from one wine to the next; that is, they do not express individual terroirs.

2015 Côte de Nuits-Villages
The vines for this wine are located in Brochon, just north of Gevrey-Chambertin. The wine is light and airy with red fruits and some tannins showing. 90/A
2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Village
The Gevrey, Clos Village is powdered in the nose. The mouth shows red berries, good length, and lightness on the palate. 92(+)/A
2015 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs
This wine is light on the palate with good intensity to its pure, long red fruits.91+/A
2015 Chapelle-Chambertin
The Chapelle-Chambertin has some steeliness along with spicy red raspberry fruit in the nose and mouth. But the tension I expect from this vineyard is not showing. 93/A-
