Bel-Air Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Has everything but finesse.

This one will drink well for a long time. It felt so young for mature burgundy, so full of life. Black cherries, thyme, clove, and dried tea leaves on the nose - pallet showed raspberries, dried cranberry, nutmeg, violets, and a lingering finish. The color was beautifully garnet red, slight signs of a burnt orange rim, but a wine full of concentrated flavor and red still remains after 8 years. If you can find some, buy 3, drink one, forget about 2. Paired with fillet mignon, red wine jus, and roasted roots.

Burgundy is the only wine my grandma can tolerate. Novice? More like wise veteran 😎

Dense and meaty. Black cherry and plum.

Gripping tannins, notes of red currant and black tea. Should be better in 3 - 5 years.

Fun. Earthy and chalky with bright red fruit.

#nose was so inviting yet the #palate not exciting.

I really like this wine. Layered with red fruits, forest floor, truffles. Kept getting better with air. A site that sits right next to clos de beze...best bought in hot years as the forest behind it lets it stay cool

Rusty, but round color. Musty aroma with funky barnyard aromas. Dried fruit (apricot) flavors followed by plum, rhubarb, and blueberries in the finish. Lush wine
