This remote east-facing vineyard sits at an elevation of 400m. Mark explained that on a crisp summer morning you can see all the way to Mont Blanc from here. Its position means, although bathed in morning sun, it does not have much hot afternoon sun, and fruit ripens slowly here. It is often picked last, and in 2020, the dark fruit and velvet tannins have a nervous edge, thanks to the high acidity. It is very complete and elegant in its own restrained style.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru contains 20% whole bunch with 50% new oak. There is a very tiny reduction here but there is plenty of red berry fruit with touches of orange pith. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, very cohesive and fine tuned towards the pixelated finish. Very long, very finessed.
