Jean Tardy & Fils Gev-Cham Champerrier V.V. 2018 (6/750ml) 2018

Bright, dark ruby-red. Initially very closed and difficult to taste, but delicate, highly floral notes of blackberry, violet and crushed stone emerged with aeration. Pungent salty minerality energizes the middle palate of this concentrated, soil-driven wine.

This opened nicely with air, eventually showing a silky texture, sappy intensity and excellent inner-mouth vibrancy. Finishes with suave tannins and excellent length. More minerally than the Nuits Bas de Combe but not quite as complex today.
