2012 Red Wine from Gevrey Chambertin

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A rich version, this savory red evokes cherry, blackberry, beet, black currant, smoke and tobacco notes. Dense yet supple in texture, with a firm underlying structure and a compact finish. The long aftertaste suggests tar...

View From The Cellar, 92 points: 92+ The Rossignols’ parcel in Combottes is always the very first vines that are harvested at the domaine, as they sit up high in the vineyard where the soil is very much defined by its fine, small stones here that retain...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (94 - 96) The 2012 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from one 0.65-hectare parcel from vines planted in 1938 planted by Louis Trapet, the other planted in 1965. It has a stony, earthy, introspective bouquet that is...

Vinous, 90 points: Dark red and black fruit, smoke, tobacco and cloves all meld together in the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin. A big, full-bodied wine within the context of village-level Gevrey, Serafin's 2012 boasts impressive depth and density...

Burghound, 90 points: A more elegant nose of relatively high-toned red berry fruit enjoys added breadth in the form of earth, sauvage and spice nuances. The supple, round and accessible middle weight flavors possess a lovely sense of energy on...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin En Champs has a smooth, harmonious, latte-tinged bouquet with ample red berry fruit, if not quite the pedigree of the best En Champs that I have tasted in this vintage. The palate is well...

Vinous, 89 points: Slightly liqueur-like red fruits and mint on the nose, along with a medicinal aspect. Ripe, dry, broad and concentrated, but showing a rougher texture than the 2013 version, and a bit less acidity. Finishes spicy and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux from the talented Arnaud Mortet has a slightly muted nose at first, perhaps caught at an awkward stage of adolescence...
