Soft wood sets off the floral-inflected nose of mostly red and dark currant aromas that possess background wisps of the sauvage and floral hints. The supple and rounded flavors possess an almost gentle mouthfeel that exhibit reasonably good depth and persistence on the firm but not hard finish. This is not particularly dense or powerful which should permit it to drink well earlier on. Drink 2030+
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.
