Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

A beautiful, cool early Autumn evening, relaxing by a fire in the chiminea.

Warmed black cherry, dehydrated red cherry, wet cinnamon stick, moist compost, rain soaked grape vines, warm licorice, cherry syrup, tart red apple peel, partially dried plum, light tannins.

Wow, my buddy's bottle contribution to the evening, total pleasure to drink this wine! Can hold until 2026-2030+ in proper storage.

Hedy’s main entree, Duck Confit - Bread Pudding made with Brioche, Bried Cherries, Kale, Nutmeg, and Mushroom Puree.

I brought three Burgundies with me. This was good with a dark seasoned Duck Confit. However, the 2012 Gevry-Chambertin hit the fruits notes in the Bread Pudding made with Brioche, Bried Cherries, Kale, Nutmeg, and Mushroom Puree over the Duck Confit.

What a difference six months makes. This was gorgeous. Classic Gevrey in every sense of the word.

👁 Garnet
👃 Licorice, honey BBQ sauce, leather, vanilla
👅 Medicinal, stewed black fruits - prunes, black cherries, strawberries. Medium tannins, medium body, long finish.
✍️️ Complex, but not necessarily memorable.

I found this to be a little aromatically light (its young) but this had this saline core I really enjoyed. I've always liked their wines.

Delicious!

Fresh and bright fruit of the vintage, med body with nice texture

Not Gevrey, straight Bourgogne Rouge. Ok, bit dull

Quetionable cellaring and bad cork still showing very well

Solid 09 Gevrey. Sour minerality, mushroom, subtle spice notes, pepper, brambly cherry, lean texture, elegant and refined.
