Francois Millet & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin La Croix Des Champs 2020
François Millet & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin La Croix des Champs 2020 is a finely crafted Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most celebrated village appellations. Produced by François Millet, the former long-serving winemaker of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, the wine reflects a philosophy centred on elegance, restraint, and transparency of terroir. The warm and concentrated 2020 vintage has given the wine impressive depth while preserving freshness and precision.
The wine opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, plum, forest floor, spice, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, combining concentrated fruit with fine-grained tannins, mineral tension, and vibrant acidity. Critics have described the 2020 La Croix des Champs as possessing a "very fine and elegant nose" with darker fruit, freshness, and a particularly moreish character. The finish is long, savoury, and beautifully balanced, showing the classic combination of power and finesse that defines top Gevrey-Chambertin.
Built for cellaring yet already showing remarkable harmony, this is a sophisticated Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir that will continue to develop complexity over the next 10–15 years.
