Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin VV

More somber and earth-leaning in register, this opens with black cherry, red plum, and dried currant, layered with violets, iron-rich soil, and a faint smoky nuance. The palate is medium-bodied and firmly structured, with savory dark fruit framed by compact, fine-grained tannins and a steady, grounding line of acidity. Subtle notes of oolong tea, damp stone, and clove emerge through the mid-palate, carrying into a dry, composed finish. A traditionally styled Gevrey that prioritizes structure, restraint, and longevity over overt charm.
