A broad, muscular style, boasting black cherry, black currant, earth, tobacco and iron flavors. A bit brooding and somber today, with a solid core of fruit and a long, spice-filled aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2042.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux is a polished, expressive wine, bursting with aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums and spices, framed by a deft application of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's succulent and open-knit, with melting tannins and an exuberant core of fruit. This is already drinking well.
