Tasting Notes

90-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(50-year-old vines): Bright ruby-red. Lovely lift to the aromas of boysenberry and violet. Then nicely delineated but also plush, sweet and round in the mouth; a dark-fruit bomb with serious concentration and depth. Finishes with very fine-grained tannins and excellent length. A splendid village wine in the making.

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.
