Red Wine from Gevrey Chambertin

Burghound, 95 points: (BH92-95 points) A pure and manifestly earthy and sauvage nose offers up notes of red and dark currant, humus and underbrush. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully delineated medium weight...

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Bright medium red. Musky redcurrant and plum aromas are complicated by game and leather nuances. Sweet and fine-grained, offering rich flavors of red and purple fruits. This elegant, concentrated village wine is already...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG91-93+ points) Dark red and blue fruit, smoke, tar, licorice and cloves wrap around the palate in the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles. There is virtually no sensation of tannin, as the fruit is so rich and...

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...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: The 2012 Chapelle-Chambertin was also showing great potential when I tasted it, wafting from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, cocoa powder, grilled meat, woodsmoke, a touch of chocolate, lovely soil tones and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (WA94-96 points) The 2012 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru comes from the domain’s monopole: populated by one-third vines aged around 30-years and the remainder around 65-years old (see December issue for...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: One of the real gems in this range, the Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes wraps around the palate with gorgeous depth and dimension. Violets, cloves and menthol meld into a core of dark fruit. The vintage has given the...

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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (AG93-95 points) A sensual, beautifully lifted and aromatically expressive Burgundy, the 2012 Griotte-Chambertin wraps around the palate with pure finesse. Sweet rose petals, hard candy, mint and wild flowers flesh out in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Mazoyères Chambertin Grand Cru from Maume-Tawse has a slightly disjointed nose at first, takes time to tuck its shirt in, but it is worth the wait because...

Burghound, 94 points: Here too there is ample floral character adding a sense of refinement to the ultra-fresh, well-layered and very pretty aromas that blend notes of earth and game with spice and a mix of both red and dark berry fruit...
