Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Colour is mid crimson - almost transparent. First impressions after 20 minutes in the decanter - an intense red fruited perfume. A barely medium weight palate with those same strawberry and raspberry notes together with earthy/forest floor. Medium plus intensity. A good if not great Premier Cru. Jancis made the comment “What a Vineyard “ admittedly in relation to Rousseau’s version of CSJ.

Really ripe and fruit forward. Would have thought this was a Cali Pinot at this point. Compared to 2010 this lacked tension and soil elements. Will revisit other bottles in a few years
