Les Jouises Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

2018 Vintages - black fruit , spice , plum , background oak big big tannin

This time it’s very spritzy, simple, lean and hard. Not improving in bottle?

Bit simple, dilute. Oak sticks out. Decent quaff.

Aromatic, cherries, cumin. On the simple side. Long finish.

Our French sommelier thought corked, we thought Gevrey that just needs some air. Give it a few hours to bloom.

Cherry, barrel char, leather, new world, opulent, toast, sour cherry, fresh. $53

2024/9. Basically similar to the last bottle, but a little more integrated and open from the start - wild red fruit, forest, iron.

2024 summer. Good classic country Gevrey

Totally delicious. Cherries, mushroom, lots of red fruit in great balance and long finish. Lots of structure, would be interested to try an older vintage but this one blew the table away

One of the few ‘affordable’ burgh producers left and sometimes this winery makes
good wines. This is one of them. 12.5%. Blackberry nose, tart cranberries and lime.
It's young and needs a couple of years to soften up. Not a long term cellar keeper.
Nicely done but not very complex. At 60$ including tax not worth it. Its a 30$ wine.
And even at that price no match for the 2018 Pinot Noir from E&M Baden in Germany
- not even close.
