Impressively rich, full, deep and long. Punching way over its weight for a Gevrey Villages in a lesser vintage. There was noticeable vanilla and oak in this wine when it was younger, but tonight the oak had completely resolved and this was recognizably mature, delicious Gevrey-Chambertin, true to its terroir. Alexandrine Roy is a brilliant vigneron.

Blackberries, earthy notes, a nice salinity, less pronounced tannins compared to the last bottle some months ago, drinking very well, a good effort for a 2011 village.

Black cherries and blackberries, earthy notes, spicy, nice density and length, good for the level and the vintage.

Black cherries, oily, good density and length, earthy notes and a high acidity, drinking well, good effort for a 2011.
