Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 12
(this and the following wines were bottled in October): Good bright red. Medicinal black cherry, rose petal and licorice on the nose; still stunted by the mise. A step up in structure from the village wines, with noteworthy purity to the flavors of raspberry, red cherry and flowers. But backward today and in need of cellaring. Finishes with dusty tannins.

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.
