Clair/Bruno Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Clos du Fonteny 2017

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): “The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny 1er Cru, which contains 40% whole bunch fruit, has a very detailed bouquet of crushed-stone-infused, minerally fruit; hints of incense and lavender emerge with time in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant right from the start, offering candied tart red fruit mixed with orange zest and citrus peel, wonderful definition and such vivacity on the finish that you will beg for another sip straight away. Might this surpass the Clos Saint-Jacques this year? Drink: 2022-2035. (Jan 2019)”

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: “Fine full purple, this is very classy, I like the depth of this as well as the class. There is a swelling, gracious deeply ripe cherry fruit, all red rather than black, with a long and fine finish. This may not have the intensity of 2015 or 2018 but you will want to drink it. Tasted: November 2018. (Nov 2018)”
