The Bouvier team manages the vines and then buys the grapes. An even mid crimson to purple. Ripely floral, with elegant complexities. Fine boned with plenty of fruit, white pepper behind, lifted and complex with medium plus length. Drink from 2032-2042. Tasted Jan. 2024. Score - 94-95.

Located right in the middle of the appellation, Fonteny is not one of Gevrey's most famous grands crus, but often over-delivers in the glass. This is a case in point, showing a combination of freshness, intensity and precision framed by 20% new oak. Drinking window: 2023-2027. Score - 93. (Tim Atkin, MW, decanter.com, Nov. 7, 2018)
This solidly built, substantial, deeply-coloured wine boasts prominent blackberry and currant fruit aromas with hints of earth and smoke. The texture is tannic and firm, with impressive concentration and length. The grapes come from a 0.40-hectare parcel of 60-year-old vines in Mazoyères down-slope from Latricières. Half the grapes are fermented as whole clusters, and the wine will age in cask (one-third new) for eighteen months. This wine should open in three to five years and drink well for another 20 beyond that. Drinking window: 2035-2065. Score - 96. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Nov. 1, 2023)
Another great Longeroies from producer René Bouvier who knows how to fully reveal the nobility of this cru vineyard located at the north end of the appellation along with the Clos du Roi site. Sour cherry, macerated fruit and bramble on the palate. Lots of tension, flavourful and mouth-watering. Score - 93. (bettanedesseauve.com, undated)
