Tasting Notes

88-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 13
Moderately saturated bright medium red. Slightly reduced nose suggests black and red cherry, game and a hint of leather. Then supple and seamless in the mouth, with cherry and raspberry fruit flavors dominating. Finishes dense and long, with suave tannins and lingering sweetness.

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.
