Leading off the 2019s, these are decidedly more fruit-driven and supple than the more structured 2018s. The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux is broader and more open than the 2018, with beautiful red and black fruits as well as leafy herb and forest, earthy nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it brings terrific ripeness and purity, sweet tannins, and just a satisfying, sexy, straight-up gorgeous wine. It certainly competes with the Grand Crus. Drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years or more.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet with cranberry, wild strawberry and light tobacco scents. There is a slightly melted quality to this Champeaux that is attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, very pliant tannins, red fruit mixed with allspice and clove, a hint of white pepper towards the finish. There is a lilting quality to this Champeaux, though it needs 3-5 years to absorb the oak.

Decanter

This is the only remaining premier cru in the Bernstein cellar and one of the plots that he owns. It is the same portion he has farmed since 2007, located mid-slope on the border with Brochon. The fruit is more plum than cherry; the imprint of the Chassin barrels is still in plain evidence. The texture of the wine is firm, but not overly so, and it should drink well from an early age.
