-wonderful Maume aromatics and nice example of the more robust site, drinking beautifully now with no hurry but don't really expect further upside development either
November 13, 2020 - Three years on just as in 2017 note.
August 29, 2019 - The palate has dark, plummy fruit, but it's dry and I'm searching for more fruit sweetness here. There are some light mesquite notes that I get in Maume Gevrey, and some meaty notes. On the lawn at Tanglewood for Squeeze. This really opened up the following night, with Albert's salmon, showing a softer palate and finally some fruit sweetness emerges. Based on this bottle, needs a long decant or hold longer in the cellar.
November 20, 2018 - Haunting, essence of Gevrey nose of dark fruit, animale, spice. Outstanding freshness and purity for the vintage, which can tend to be puppy-like. Touch of reduction on the nose which never disappeared but moved to the background with air. Silky, light-bodied palate that is a wonderful contrast to the intensely masculine aromas and flavors. Just a great wine, so excited to have more of this 2006 and the following vintages.
September 28, 2018 - Holding well no point in repeating my note from June 2017 this bottle is almost identical
June 1, 2018 - Classic Gevrey for me. It has that rusty iron thing going on that I so often find in Burgundy but nowhere else. Lovely fruit underneath, a little reduction here. Very good. This is definitely in its drinking window I think balancing youth with maturity very well. Complex. Had with food and very pleasurable.
After Epoisses, and comparing to a Lux Pinot, this seems more intense and fruity at first but then takes on a slight rubbery note. Better a few minutes after the cheese. Seems fruitier though. Some nice sour cherry.
June 2, 2017 - I am on my second case of this glorious example of old style Maume wine making . The wine is now a light red with the very slightest suggestion of browning at the rim . The nose is of sweet spices and upmarket beeswax furniture polish .
On the palate the cinnamon and cassia notes are joined by vanilla and ripe strawberry with a hint of chocolate - the finish is long for such a light wine . One wonders what the Maumes of the new regime will do at this age ?
July 20, 2014 - From 75cl, good cork. Very good villages Gevrey, with the thin-bodied but still dark fruit, spice, refreshing astringency and gentle sweetness you hope for (but don't always get). Still a bit of tannic grip on the finish, but I wouldn't wait too long on this one: once the grip goes it will probably go flabby fast. 1-2 years left at this level? 88P
March 1, 2014 - Pale garnet. Sweet spices, sour cherry and rose petals on the nose. Very delicate! On the palate, lots of crunchy red berry fruit - cranberry, redcurrant and red cherry - and some cloves. Medium bodied with good flavour intensity, grippy tannins and medium/high acidity. Refreshing and savouy. Medium length finish.
