DOMAINE CASTAGNIER GEVREY CHAMBERTIN 2017, Burgundy

The black raspberry and plum flavors really come through, and the smooth tannins made it dangerously easy to finish the bottle in one sitting. Perfect with a simple roast chicken dinner.

That savory herbal note balanced the dark fruit beautifully—made it feel more complex than I expected for a wine this smooth. Finished a whole bottle with dinner without any harsh edges.

The dark berry flavors were exactly what I hoped for—rich black raspberry and plum that carried through to a smooth finish. Those tannins really are as gentle as described, making it dangerously easy to sip on its own.
