Les Corbeaux Vielles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Fleshy and pretty. Plum and cherry. Clear and precise. Lovely texture

A beautiful bright nose. Loads of floral notes with plum and black cherry. A sweetness and precision. Excellent

Intense gnarly fruit. Pretty with a deep complexity. A twinge of acidity. Lovely presence

Hibernating. Needs a few years...

Recreation of “Judgement of Paris II” blind Pinot tasting with the addition of a bonus wine from the Central Otago:
pale ruby, thick tears • subtle nose, cherry, red berries, floral notes, caramel • very pure red fruit, minerality, medium body, plenty of silky tannin, 13% ABV, long finish • ages in about 30% new oak, 60-70 year-old vines, grown in clay-rich soil just south of Dijon at the very northern end of the Gevery-Chambertin Grand Cru hill• should evolve nicely but pleasant drinking now

unfortunately just a bit thin. lacking fruit and any real flavor authority. i chalk it up to the vintage.

la Paulee. This was one of the WOTN's for me no doubt due to the format size. 6L and purchased at Rusty Staub's charity auction in NYC back in 2005

Pure sous bois.

Bachelet 🔥

Gorgeous and open. Fruit is coated in sage and underbrush.
