From several parcels to the south of the village, amounting to some two hectares in total, the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Terres Blanches offers up aromas of cassis, berries, petals and orange rind, framed by toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and easygoing, it's open-knit and charming, with melting tannins and succulent acids.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Terres Blanches comes from vines on the lower slopes located close to the Route Nationale. It has a punchy bouquet with quite a lot of extraction for a village cru - bold black and red fruit that just need to show more finesse once in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with a lot of sucrosity that masks the terroir and whilst I can see its commercial appeal, for me, it just needs to show more complexity and nuance.
