The high-toned and admirably pure nose consists of ultra-fresh red cherry, floral and softly spiced aromas. The racy, intense and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a refined, even sophisticated, mouthfeel while delivering outstanding length on the stony, moderately austere and balanced finale. This always ages well and the 2023 version should as well. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-1-2025

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny 1er Cru has around 50% whole bunch in the blend. Here, the stems are just a little more apparent, leaning more toward the vegetal side (in a good manner). The palate is medium-bodied and very linear, a little slender for a Premier Cru… Hopefully it will flesh out during the remainder of its time in barrel. ~ (92) Neal Martin, Vinous 1-1-2025

Aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, rose petal and peony introduce the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny, a medium-bodied, satiny and vibrant wine that's fine-boned, succulent and saline. After the more structured 2022, the 2023 wears its heart on its sleeve. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025
