The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champonnets by Jean-Michel Guillon is a Premier Cru red Burgundy sourced from vines located on the cooler northern slopes of Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Michel Guillon employs a meticulous vinification process, often utilising 100% new French oak, which imparts subtle spice and hints of vanilla that harmonise with the core of dark fruits. Expect firm tannins and a robust character at a youthful stage, necessitating further ageing for full expression.
