Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 09
Good deep red. Enticing aromas of black cherry, currant, licorice and smoky underbrush. Sweet and juicy but tight, with firm flavors of black cherry, spices and fresh herbs. Finishes with toothcoating tannins that avoid coming off as dry. But less pliant than the 2007. (The Bourgogne is a chocolatey-ripe outperformer in its category.)

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.
