Maison Champy 2008 Vieilles Vignes (Gevrey-Chambertin)

Country: France / Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Maison Champy / Gevrey-Chambertin

With many Champy reds, the high toast extract is just a hint. Here it dominates. While there is acidity and a bitter cherry flavor, it is hard to discern through the barrier of wood. Maybe two or three years will help, but it is a question.
