Burghound, January 2004, Score: 89-92
Smoky red fruits and mineral notes on the nose. This explodes on the palate as it's like biting into extremely fresh and crisp ripe fruit and the acidity highlights the linear character of the finish. Perfectly balanced and though this is somewhat reserved on the backend, the finishing intensity and delineation is brilliant. This should age well for a number of years to come. Drink: 2009-2017.Comments: outstanding!

Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
