Les Parcellaires Saulx Gevrey Chambertin Rouge 2017 (1x75cl)

The Les Parcellaires Saulx Gevrey-Chambertin Rouge 2017 represents a focused expression from one of Burgundy's most esteemed appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin is renowned for producing Pinot Noir wines of significant structure, depth, and longevity, often described as the most 'masculine' of the Côte de Nuits villages.

This particular cuvée, from Les Parcellaires Saulx, underscores a commitment to showcasing the distinct character of specific vineyard parcels. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a relatively early harvest, yielding wines with excellent aromatic purity, vibrant fruit, and a balanced acidity that promises graceful evolution. Expect a wine that articulates the classic Gevrey profile: robust yet elegant, with a clear sense of its terroir.

Tasting notes

On the nose, the Les Parcellaires Saulx Gevrey-Chambertin 2017 presents an intricate bouquet of dark cherry, wild berries, and plum, interwoven with nuanced notes of forest floor, damp earth, and a subtle hint of liquorice. As it opens, delicate floral undertones and a touch of spice emerge.

The palate is structured and authoritative, yet refined. A firm tannic framework supports a core of concentrated red and black fruit, balanced by a refreshing acidity. Mid-palate, layers of savoury minerality and a touch of game add complexity. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the fruit and earthy characteristics, with a promising potential for further development in bottle.
