Gevrey-Chambertin Champonnets 1er Cru Domaine des Varoilles 2016

750ml

SGD 145.00

94 points, Tim Atkin

Bright red berries, with a lovely vivacity of fruit on the palate, really effusive and light on its feet. The finish is long, with a good density of ripe red fruit persisting.

Tasting Profile

  • Body: Full-bodied, with a firm structure and noticeable presence.
  • Tannins: Firm and well-integrated tannins provide a noticeable grip, lending the wine complexity and structure. These tannins are likely to evolve into greater smoothness with additional cellaring.
  • Acidity: Vibrant acidity balances the richness of the wine, providing freshness and lift. It’s a cornerstone to the wine's structure and contributes to its age-worthiness.
  • Sweetness: Dry

Tasting Notes: This Gevrey-Chambertin opens with classic aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, interwoven with subtle notes of earth, forest floor, and dried herbs. The palate is a tapestry of ripe red fruits, framed by elegant tannins and lively acidity. There's a compelling interplay of dark and red berry flavors, with nuances of spice, leather, and undergrowth emerging as the wine unfolds. The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of fruit and mineral.

Discover the Winery: Domaine des Varoilles

Domaine des Varoilles combines a number of spectacular vineyards from village to grand cru level. The arrival of Gilbert Hammel in 1990 marked a turning point for the domaine. Gilbert, of Swiss descent, has made Domaine des Varoilles a go-to producer of a succulent, rounded and supremely approachable style of Gevrey-Chambertin. The Varoilles holdings include two very special premiers crus monopoles, La Romanée and Clos des Varoilles.
