This is also quite floral in character with its just sliced plum and crushed dark berry scents. The round, rich and suave medium-bodied flavors are quite generous thanks to the abundant sap that also serves to buffer the moderately firm structure shaping the lingering finish that also displays a touch of warmth.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er Cru offers a mélange of red and black fruit, a light incense aroma emerging from the wings. There's a pleasant "delicacy" about the bouquet. The medium-bodied palate is fleshy with supple tannins, finishing with a subtle marine/seaweed influence. It doesn't quite "kick on" like it can in some vintages, though it will drink well over the next decade. (NM)
