To the eye
A deep, dark ruby colour, almost opaque, with hints of purple and garnet that reflect the high level of sun exposure in 2018.

Nose
Powerful, dense and robust. The initial nose offers a profusion of very ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, wild blackberry, fleshy black cherry). As it opens up, the aromatic profile becomes more complex, revealing elegant notes of liquorice, violet and black pepper, along with that subtly earthy touch (humus, truffle) characteristic of fine Gevrey wines.

Palate
The attack is broad, full-bodied and immediately enveloping. The wine coats the palate with a rich, velvety and very full-bodied texture, underpinned by a solid yet perfectly ripe and well-integrated tannic structure. The long finish is powerful, spicy and very persistent.

Pairing
With its robust character, this wine – tailor-made for full-flavoured cuisine – calls for flavourful meats: a rib of beef grilled over vine shoots, a leg of lamb cooked for seven hours, a thick cut of venison or a beef bourguignon simmered for hours. As for cheeses, a well-matured Époisses or an Ami du Chambertin would be ideal accompaniments. Serve in a decanter two hours beforehand, at around 16°C.

Aging potential
The 2018 vintage, with its richness and density, gives this wine exceptional ageing potential. Whilst it is delicious now (after being allowed to breathe) to enjoy its full fruitiness, it will continue to develop magnificently in the cellar until 2033–2035, revealing sublime aromas of leather and venison.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the sunny character of 2018 shape the expression of this Gevrey-Chambertin?

The ripeness of the grapes lends an opulent dimension to Gevrey-Chambertin’s earthy power. This vintage will appeal above all to those who enjoy rich, concentrated wines, rather than those who prefer a more restrained expression.

Does the proximity of Mazoyères-Chambertin mean Les Seuvrées can be approached as a Grand Cru?

No: its geographical proximity does not change its Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. When choosing it, it is better to focus on the qualities described for this parcel: old vines on clay-limestone soils, producing a dense wine with plenty of substance on the palate.

What does the term “chewy” mean when tasting this wine?

It refers to a substantial presence on the palate, with a texture that almost feels as though it could be chewed. Here, it accompanies a firmly structured body: the wine’s appeal therefore lies in its texture as well as in its aromatic expression.

What makes this magnum a good choice for a group tasting?

At 150 cl, it holds the equivalent of two 75 cl bottles and makes it possible to share the same wine among more guests. This format is well suited to a gathering of enthusiasts who appreciate rich, structured reds.

How should I choose between Les Seuvrées 2018 and the same estate’s Aux Combottes 2017?

Les Seuvrées 2018 is described as a dense, earthy, opulent Gevrey-Chambertin—a useful reference point if you are looking for this style. Aux Combottes 2017 is a Premier Cru from a different vintage, but the information provided does not allow a comparison of its finesse, development or power with that of Les Seuvrées.
