Critics Scores
Vinous
Matured in around 50 new oak, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has (another) gorgeous and pure bouquet with small dark cherries, raspberry preserve and subtle violet notes. The new oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red and black fruit, lightly spiced with a slightly confit-like finish. Divine.(NM)
Decanter
The ever consistent Denis Bachelet makes his village Gevrey from three separate parcels - En Derée, Sylvie and Les Jeunes Rois - all of which are at least 60 years old. This is typically juicy, crunchy and appealing, showing abundant blueberry and bramble fruit, lots of chalky minerality, and stylishly integrated 40 new wood. Drinking Window 2022 - 2027.
Burghound
Soft wood sets off the pretty and ultra-fresh aromas of dark currant, spice and distinct earth scents. The sleek and very rich medium weight flavors possess a caressing yet powerful mouthfeel, all wrapped in a saline-inflected finish that offers very fine depth and persistence. This should drink well young but have no problem rewarding mid-term cellaring.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is also showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, plums and cherries mingled with sweet soil tones, grilled meats and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and textural, with a velvety attack, lovely purity of fruit and a long, precise finish. (WK)
