Mid garnet. Nicely earthy with some sous bois leafiness. Fruit well and truly on the retreat, this is more about mid weight autumnal savouriness, slightly dry on the finish. Works quite well with veal and morels which seem to bring a little more sweetness and roundness to the finish.***

Light with a nice nose. Smells like a Gevrey Chambertin but doesn't have the complexity and minerality of other bottles. Was reasonably priced for a premier-cru GC but not up to par either. Nothing to write home about. If you are looking for a reasonably priced bottle with this pedigree, its probably worth the reasonable purchase price but if you are expecting something special, pass it up.

these grew on me over time. great blood red color, lots of terroir comes through. It seems like these bottles keep getting better although I've basically drank the whole case over only about a year. Down to my last one. At only $55 for premier cru Les Cazetiers, you don't get the best plots in Gevrey Chambertin but not bad and for the price way better than you would typically see.

These bottles have mostly underperformed for me. That said, this bottle was much better than others. Gorgeous, very light in color but with a fantastic aroma of a much heavier wine. Very long finish in contrast to previous bottles. Hopefully my last few are like this!

these bottles are more weekday drinkers than something special but they do exhibit nice Chambertin qualities of minerality and acidity that I enjoy. Very light in character and color.

A nice pinot from an off vintage but I would liked to have seen a little more from this. Has good age on it and it definitely has the Gevrey Chambertin aroma to it but the taste and finish aren't as strong as one might hope. Still not a bad bottle though.

Not a great vintage and I'd have to say this wine is past peak. Both these bottles were light and underwhelming after a short decant. There is a hint of some nice minerality but some acidity beyond expectation as well. Overall, you can tell this is a Gevrey Chambertin wine and maybe the vintage hurts it but its definitely not as good as other GCs I've had at this age.
