Gevrey-Chambertin

67 Pall Mall, London

On the left, we have the classic vintage (vinified with a hint of sulfur). And on the right, its rebellious sibling vinified without sulfur.⁠
⁠
The results were as surprising as findings as nonsulfur Gevrey 2016 initially had a bit of an attitude - reductive, with wild cherries and spicy herbs with amplified wild, savage Gevrey perfume. It left a sappy and lively aftertaste that was refreshing and bright. 91-92.⁠
⁠
The standard 2016 Gevrey Village was a bit riper and rounder, with fewer wild antics and more creamy goodness. It's like the flinty and savory backbone holding everything together with finesse. Plenty of development awaits both wines and they're only going to get better. 91-92.⁠
⁠
I give them both a solid 91-92 in a blind-tasting showdown, 5 out of 8 people gave the nod to the rebellious nonsulfur Gevrey 2016.⁠
