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)

Founded in 1910, Domaine Bouvier has been farmed organically since 2009, though they have not sought certification. Their holdings include a large percentage of old vines averaging more than 50 years of age. This lively, evocative wine shows dark fruit, plum, spice, and earthy minerality. Hold until 2023 or 2024 and then drink through 2035+.
