Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier Vieilles Vignes Domaine Jean Tardy 2021

Description

Located in Vosne-Romanee and in the highly capable hands of Guillaume Tardy, Domaine Jean Tardy is now recognised as one of the leading producers in the Côte d'Or. Originally the vineyards were entirely leased from Domaine Méo-Camuzet, and, 30 years later, these still make up the majority of Guillaume’s holdings. The family have over the years added to these and the domaine now has 5 hectares of vineyards in Nuits-St-Georges, Vosne Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs Perrières Vieilles Vignes, which suffered minor hail damage (10%), is one of Tardy's more fruit intense crus with black cherries and white-tipped strawberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, taut and quite citrus-fresh and tensile on the finish with admirable length. This is a delightful Gevrey from Guillaume Tardy, contender for his best 2021. Neal Martin, Vinous
