The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru is a graceful yet structured Burgundy that beautifully reflects its terroir. The bouquet opens with redcurrant, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by violet, spice, and a touch of earth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with precise acidity and fine-grained tannins that frame its fruit purity. Mineral undertones and a subtle smokiness add depth, while the finish is long, lifted, and finely detailed. The 2016 vintage, celebrated for its balance and freshness, ensures this wine will continue to develop nuance over the next 12–15 years, offering a poised and elegant expression of Gevrey.

Domaine René LeClerc, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, is recognized for its classical, terroir-focused wines that embody the authenticity of this storied appellation. René LeClerc, together with his son François, has preserved a traditional style that emphasizes careful vineyard work, gentle extraction, and a respect for the individuality of each cru. Among their holdings, Les Champeaux is a high-slope Premier Cru vineyard in the northern sector of Gevrey, known for its cooler climate and limestone-rich soils. Wines from this site are typically more mineral and taut, offering an elegant, structured interpretation of Gevrey that contrasts with some of the village’s more powerful crus.
