Tasting note
Of an intense ruby color, our Gevrey-Chambertin 2013 reveals nice mellow
oaky hints and aromas of blackcurrant, mocha and liquorice on the nose. The palate is ample
with undergrowth and blackcurrant flavours. Lovely tannins are present on the finish.
Description
Situated about 10 Km from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the finest viticultural villages of
the Cote de Nuits. In 1847 Gevrey-Chambertin was the first village of the Cote d'Or to join
the village name with that of one of its Grand Crus - hence ‘Gevrey-en-Montagne' became
‘Gevrey-Chambertin. Planted only with Pinot Noir, here one finds the complete hierarchy of the
Burgundian appellations: to the north, the premiers crus and to the south the grand crus. The
village appellations are gathered on the bottom of the slope. The sparse and pebbly limestonerich
brown-red soils give Gevrey-Chambertin wines power and body. A great Cote de Nuits
classic!
