Jean-Michel Guillon Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais 2016 is a Pinot Noir from a year defined by low yields and fruit concentration. The 2016 growing season was marked by a devastating spring frost, but the surviving grapes reached perfect ripeness during a warm, dry summer. This release is one of the most intense and structured expressions of the Les Crais parcel, featuring a deep ruby colour and a nose of black cherry, peony and sweet oak spices. The palate is dense and layered, with a firm tannic grip that suggests a long future ahead.

Robert Parker
Rich aromas of richly toasted new oak and ripe red-black fruit introduce the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais, a medium to full-bodied, velvety wine with tangier acids and a brighter, livelier profile than the Cuvée Père Galland. This is another of Guillon`s wines that`s dominated by its new wood today, and though it may come around with time, I would love to see some used barrels in the parc a fûts chez Guillon. - William Kelley
