  Deep Ruby red with brown edge. A very clean and complex nose (compared to previous bottle that showed just a hint of tar). There were still signs of youthful fruit but more complex notes are developing, the wine is in mid life and the great length of fine tannins suggest much pleasure if consumed over next 8-10 years

  A wine that was better than it had any right to be! First off, the 2004 generalization (for producing nasty green wines) could not have been further from the reality of this wine. It was served blind and nobody...nobody guessed 2004. This wine was quite ripe, with abundant fruit and great structure. But absolutely no hint of green/vegetal flavours. Just unabashed pure ripe pinot retaining a good sense of place (you knew you were in Burgundy and it was pretty quickly honed to Gevrey Chambertin by the tasters). Maybe I just have good luck, but this one and the 2004 Jadot G-C CSJ have both been winners for me without a bit of green taint.

  WineFanatic Grand Cru Burgundy Offline (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – medium to dark red. Gevrey nose with darker red fruits, meatiness, hints of spice and poopy funk. In the mouth the wine rich, deep and masculine with solid acidity and fine grained tannins. Young but approachable and no signs of the mean greenies here—just a wonderful young burg that should continue to develop nicely over the next 5-7 years. Excellent. 91+
