Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys has a more precise and delineated bouquet compared to the Les Champeaux: rose petals and iris aromas complementing the understated blackberry and raspberry fruit, a touch of vanilla pod emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, crisp and poised, fresh from the start and then segueing into quite a linear, straight-laced finish when you are willing it to just fan out and leave a great impression.
