Burghound, January 2012, Score: 92
As it almost always is, this is notably elegant and really quite fresh in the context of the vintage with high-toned, cool and airy aromas of pure red berry fruit, wet stone and pungent Gevrey-style earth that can also be found on the delicious, complex and beautifully layered middle weight flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract. The powerful, focused and explosive finish is both graceful and harmonious and this should age well for years yet be accessible young. In short, this is very impressive. Drink: 2019+.Notes: 40+ year old vines aged in 100% new oak with 75% whole cluster fermentation.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.
