The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has fulfilled all the promise it showed from barrel, bursting with aromas of wild berries, cherries, sweet spices, loamy soil and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, it's deep and concentrated, with a seamless profile and a saline finish. It's well worth seeking out.

From eight different lieux-dits and averaging over sixty years of age, Boillot's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village reveals aromas of red cherries, cassis and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, succulent palate with fine concentration and chalky structure. It's a fine Gevrey in the making.

From eight different lieux-dits and averaging over sixty years of age, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village unfurls in the glass with notes of ripe berry fruit, grilled meats and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, pure and succulent, with velvety tannins, tangy acids and good length on the finish.

The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin Village comes from eight parcels between 55 and 75 years old. The nose felt a little closed compared to others, although it gradually opened to offer dark cherry and strawberry scents. The palate is very pure with succulent tannin, a fine bead of acidity, harmonious with a sweet finish. I find this more promising than the Chambolle-Musigny at the moment, just give it 24 months in bottle.

The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin Village comes from eight parcels scattered around the appellation (Mon. Boillot did list them for me, but let's say they are from respectable lieux-dits and the average age of vine is 50 years). The bouquet is cohesive and focused with plenty of ripe mulberry and red plum fruit laced with subtle damp earth aromas. The palate is nimble on its toes: very well balanced with fine poise, crisp red cherry and strawberry with a judicious amount of salinity urging you back for another sip on the finish. Excellent.
