TASTING NOTE:

At the eye this wine shows a bright ruby colour, turning to deep carmine or dark cerise with age. Strawberry, mulberry, violet, mignonette, and rose all help to make up their bouquet of spontaneous aromas. More maturity brings out liquorice, leather and fur, with gamey notes and hints of underbrush. On the palate, this Gevrey Chambertin impress by its firm structure, velvety tannins and delicate texture; everything a great burgundy should be: full-bodied, powerful, rich, and meaty. It has both body and spirit. Pleasant when drunk young « on the fruit », it is nevertheless first and foremost wine for aging, often for long periods
