"91 Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy
Combes du Dessus has been assembled into this in 2023. A denser bright purple. The nose is less immediately forthcoming, but there is greater weight of fruit, richer raspberry towards the back of the palate yet with good acidity. The two plots do indeed complement each other. Just bottled.

There is only one cuvée from the Gevrey appellation in 2023, as Amélie Berthaut decided to blend fruit from Combe de Dessus with La Burie. So, the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has an airy bouquet with fresh red cherries and wild strawberry scents—not powerful, though well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy red fruit, fine-boned tannins and a brisk, easy-drinking finish. It is a thoroughly enjoyable and unpretentious Gevrey Village. Drinking Window 2026 - 2038"
Amélie Berthaut has established herself as the leading light of the village of Fixin, having only been put in charge of the estate in 2013 by her father, she has completely overhauled the style of the wines and introduced beautiful freshness and finesse throughout her range. These drink beautifully from the off but also have the inherent balance to age well.
