Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour. Founded in 1976, Domaine Philippe Leclerc is located in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy, in eastern France. It boasts 7.5 hectares of vineyards spread across various appellations and Premier Crus, cultivated using sustainable farming practices. Domaine Philippe Leclerc's wines are renowned for their elegance and for beautifully representing the exceptional quality of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. The Pinot Noir grapes come from the estate's vineyards north of the Côte de Nuits. Here, the vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils and benefit from a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. These conditions, ideal for quality viticulture, guarantee the production of deep, structured wines capable of aging well for years. In the glass, Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs reveals a rich and complex aromatic profile with notes of red and black fruit, black cherry, kirsch, and potpourri, followed by hints of licorice, orange peel, and tobacco. On the palate, it has a medium-full body and firm yet smooth tannins. It is soft, round, and generous. It has good acidity and a long, layered finish that echoes the aromas perceived on the nose. Cellar it for a few years, or try it now with coq au vin, rib-eye steak, or aged soft-paste cheeses like Époisses.
