Varoilles Gevrey-Chambertin “Meix des Ouches” 2018

At the village level, the Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Meix des Ouches is particularly excellent this year — its ripe dark fruit imparts a certain sweetness, and while it is showing its structure at the moment, we expect it to round out and begin drinking well before long. Burghound praised its “ripe and pretty aromas … composed by notes of plum, red currant, raspberry and discreet earth influences.” We think this has near-premier-cru intensity in 2018.
