Red Wine from Gevrey Chambertin

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin from the talented Arnaud Mortet seemed a little bashful on the nose, but with aeration it reveals attractive blackberry and wild strawberry scents that are well defined, just a touch of...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG91-93 points) A finely-knit wine, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées is showing beautifully today. Plum, blueberry, new leather, cloves and menthol all flesh out in a sumptuous wine loaded with class and...

View From The Cellar, 95 points: (JG94-95+ points) The 2012 Clos de Bèze had been bottled at the end of October, but was still showing very well in mid-November, wafting from the glass in a superb aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 95 points: (ST92-95 points) Good bright, dark red. Complex, high-pitched aromas of pomegranate, nutmeg, orange peel, licorice and pepper. Nuanced and stylish but youthfully tight, showing outstanding definition and lift its tart red...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru from Faiveley has a beguiling nose with brambly red berry fruit, damp earth, cold flagstone and just a faint smear of marmalade...

View From The Cellar, 98 points: The king of Burgundy has certainly performed up to its exalted reputation in the Rossignol-Trapet cellars in 2012 and this is the most brilliant wine I have ever had the pleasure to taste from the Rossignol brothers! The...

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...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH92-95 points) A beautifully complex and airy nose features ripe aromas of exuberantly spicy plum, violet, sauvage and essence of red currant. There is a very round and velvety mouth feel to the delicious medium weight...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru demands coaxing from the glass, unfurling to reveal blackcurrant and fresh strawberry scents, joined by a hint of violet with time. The palate has a good backbone...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (WA95-97 points) The 2012 Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru, which like the Chapelle-Chambertin is domaine-owned, has a more voluminous, multi-faceted bouquet with engaging incense and mineral notes infusing the...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) The 2012 Mazoyeres-Chambertin is a bit subdued today, with less of its typical explosiveness. Violets, lavender, sweet herbs and new leather add complexity over time. In my view, the Mazoyeres, is the...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) There is enough reduction present to push the fruit to the background though it does appear to be ripe. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors thanks to...
