DOMAINE HARMAND GEOFFROY GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 1ER CRU LES CHAMPEAUX 2019

The "Les Champeaux" Vineyard rests at the northernmost limit of Gevrey-Chambertin, high up on the hard and thin-soiled bedrock of the Combe de Lavaux. In an appellation of many outstanding crus, Champeaux ranks among the very best and most striking. The Harmands exploit a mere 0.2-hectare plot here, and their 90 year-old vines always produce one of the highlights of their cellar. This 2019 is a bold, commanding wine: a spellbinding combination of exotic spice, dense fruit, and punchy limestone, all expressed through a beautifully silky texture. The tannins are present but perfectly integrated even at this early stage of development, and the lengthy finish clings to the palate promising a long life.
