Sourced from vines averaging 70 years of age, this is a far cry from your typical “village-level” Gevrey, and it shows through clearly from the first sip. In the glass, it displays a vibrant, dark ruby red core with highly reflective, slightly pink hues on the rim that indicate its youth. The perfumed nose offers classic aromas of youthful Gevrey-Chambertin including notes of black cherry, wild strawberry, redcurrant, and fresh red plum highlighted by aromas of freshly picked lavender, thyme, forest floor, black tea, a bouquet of wildflowers, crushed rocks, and subtle baking spices from the lightly toasted French oak. The slightly rustic and very structured palate—which is to be expected from a youthful Gevrey—enchants with compact and muscular flavors of crushed stone minerality, wild herbs, wet flowers, tea leaf, grape stems, redcurrant, and pomegranate. If you collect Burgundy, this stunning wine is a necessary addition to your cellar.
