Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er 2018

This is the first wine to display any significant reduction and it's enough to flatten the fruit. It also extends to the palate of the bigger-bodied flavors that offer good richness and ample punch on the lingering finale that also reflects a milder touch of bitterness. Reduction on the palate is never a good sign but in this case my sense is that this will clean up once it's racked. Score: 86-89, Tasted: Jan 10, 2020, Drink: 2033+ Issue: 77 Burghound

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes reveals notions of cherries, raspberries and cassis complemented by sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, it's muscular and structural this year, with fine concentration, ripe acids and powdery tannins, concluding with a long finish.
