Aromas of sweet red berries, incense and spicy new oak introduce the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, a medium-bodied, ample wine with an open-knit but youthfully chewy framing of tannin, tangy acids and a chalky finish. With less flesh on its bones, this is showing its wood tannin more prominently than the higher appellations this year, but with a bit of bottle age it should round out. It's one cuvee, however, where a little less new wood might work well, without distorting the house style.
