The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées has quite a backward nose at first with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla infusing the red berry fruit. Floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, quite elegant with nicely-pitched acidity, edgy with impressive mineralité on the finish. Recommended - this shows the pedigree of this lieu-dit. Drink 2024 - 2038. 91-93 points. Neal Martin
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.
