Tasting Notes

87
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 03
Moderately saturated medium red, with a hint of development. Rustic aromas of leather, roasted meat, tobacco, minerals, mulch and animal fur. Sweet and lush, with good texture but a strong leathery quality. A solidly structured wine that finishes with good length and firm, slightly dry tannins.

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.
