Gérard Raphet
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
No. 5 of 9 in the Gevrey Chambertin Grand Cru bracket. Tasted blind. Showing that Gevrey Chambertin earth and muscle (even though ended up being a Charmes which gets a little less sun than Le Chambertin to its north). My notes: Cherry, Liquorice, Tar; palate staining intensity - sweet, picked later in the season? Quantity produced down as Gevrey C hit hard by the frosts. Liked this a lot.

This wine is amazing and a real find for its $$$
This was highly recommended from my JJ Buckley rep. Lots of red fruits , mineral and spice with good structure and balance, reaching its peak drinking window and will drink well for many years. This has everything you look for in Burgundy for half of the price($76) Highly recommended!

One of the great wines from Raphet. Sadly my last btl of 2 cases where again this btl over delivered offering up copious amounts of black cherry, berry fruits with sweet almost Leroy like spices, mineral & violet. I wish I could find more wines that drink this well at this $$$. Consistent with my many prior notes

Aug 13th, 2020Beautiful drinking 07 with rich, sappy dark cherry, sweet spices, mineral & violet. This is a wine that I purchased multiple cases of after trying. So good now but has the structure & balance to age many more years.
