Goedhuis, October 2023
This is one of Gevrey’s finest 1er Crus, huge respected by the senior vignerons in the village. It is only less recognised because of its smallness in size, 2.5 ha, and having only 5 owners who make the wine. Brilliantly positioned above Grand Crus Chambertin Clos de Beze and alongside Ruchottes Chambertin, this is a full, deep and succulent wine. Flavours of summer pudding, laced with a touch of liquorice and vanilla pod, the depth of fruit coats the mouth. A degree of muscle giving a sensation of Grand Cru distinction, carefully tempered by the nuances of wild berry fruits and given harmony by the sweetness of flavours so typical of the vintage and a mouth-watering freshness on the finish. Quite excellent.
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.
