  Earth, loam, darker pinot fruit and a little meatiness on the nose. On the palate, this has good depth and sense of sap and breadth with darker cherry fruit, undergrowth, meatiness, and a little vitamin. The wood is well integrated at this point. Overall, this is a very good savory, reasonably well balanced fuller styled village Gevrey. Time has been a friend to this wine. Overall quite good with the only detraction being a little better tannin finish that seems more wood than grape derived. Drinking at peak with time in hand. 90

  Whoever drank this wine prior to me has committed infanticide..as did I!!
  This beauty is still very closed up but does reveal its great charm if cajoled. Nothing weak, short or feeble about this great villages...almost as good as Dominques Beanue VV from 2002!

  A bit over extracted and short, perfectly tasty with red fruit and good acidity, fine with pizza but not a good example of Gevrey Chambertin (or even Bourgogne).

  I had this wine at a restaurant at only about 4x its going price...perhaps this tainted my enjoyment somewhat. The cork had a wine mark up to the top 15% of the cork, but no seepage. Perhaps a little heat damage or bad cork. Funky gamey aromas with a lot of earth and mineral notes for me more than forest floor. To my palate, very little fruit on the nose or on the palate. Still firm, juicy tannins make this wine taste still young. I taste a bit of stemmy green flavors I wasn't too fond of, and a bit thin. I kept wondering if this bottle had a hint of cork taint or if it was supposed to taste this way. This wasn't my style, but my wife quite enjoyed it.

  This wine was medium, clear in color with a ruby//purple hue. A slight cherry liqueur, with blackberry and mineral notes. Medium bodied, with ripe raspberry flavors. The finish is full of acidity and lingers for a while.
