Gevrey-Chambertin is a wine with a beautiful, bright ruby colour. Intensely fruity on the nose, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry, wild blackberry and liquorice. The woody character is subtle and marries delicately with the other aromas. As the wine evolves, there are more complex notes, such as mild spice, nutmeg and leather. Later still, mushroom and damp earth nuances make their appearance. Although present on the palate, tannin is never astringent but blends itself harmoniously with the natural freshness and « gras » (velvety texture) of the wine. The same aromas encountered earlier on the nose are found again in the aftertaste.
Barrel-aged wine blended in tank. Tank sample.Muted nose that suggests there’s something quite substantial under here. Real spread of quite charming fruit on the palate and then a whack of slightly bitter tannin. (Drink between 2027-2035)
