Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 11
Medium bright red. Restrained aromas of black cherry, menthol, licorice and violet. The fattest '09 to this point but with very good rather than outstanding intensity. Less expressive today than the Les Jouises but showing more volume, if less cut.

Gevrey-Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin, a prestigious Burgundy appellation in Côte de Nuits, is renowned for producing powerful Pinot Noir wines, often called the "King of Burgundy." These wines are known for bold flavours, complex aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, truffles, and spices, with robust structure and excellent ageing potential. The appellation includes nine Grand Cru vineyards, notably Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Top producers like Domaine Armand Rousseau, Domaine Fourrier, and Domaine Denis Mortet craft wines that reflect the unique terroir and tradition of Gevrey-Chambertin.
