Roux Père & Fils
Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Heavy on the oak. Would perhaps feel a bit more integrated in a handful of years.

This is the best French wine I have ever had! 2013 Roux Pere and Fils : Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes. Since I am brand new to French wine, I have no idea what this is. It is light in color like a Oregon pinot noir. The bouquet is English Lavender. The initial palate is tart cherries and raspberries. The finish is quick and spicy. No oak. No tart finish! Just clean fresh and mildly dry. WOW This is amazing. This is in my opinion, a French pinot noir better than the US pinots by far.

was on the thin side at first but evolved over an hour or two. last glass was heavenly- nice nose and fruit really became expressive. I would let breath in glass for a while.

Not the depth and long finish I was hoping for. But a smooth happy wine which was very enjoyable.
