Red Wine from Gevrey Chambertin

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) An exuberantly fresh nose of various dark berries, plum and soft earth hints leads to impressively rich, round and voluminous middle weight flavors that retain a reasonably good sense of definition on the...

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...

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, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny, which sees around 60% new wood, is robed in a deep ruby color. The new oak is dominating the aromatics at present, which makes it difficult discerning the...

Burghound, 92 points: An elegant, cool and pure nose features notes of wild red berries, pungent earth and a sauvage note. There is an equally cool impression to the medium weight plus flavors that exude a fine minerality on the delicious...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: (ST92-94 points) Good dark red. Very dark aromas of blueberry, blackberry, menthol, violet and stone. Densely packed and sharply delineated, showing a crunchy berry character and lovely inner-mouth violet lift. Very...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Musky red raspberry, currant and smoke on the nose and palate. Penetrating and energetic, showing attractive early balance and length. Here, too, the tannins are sweet and will not get in the way of early...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: (93+) While the 2012 Clos Prieur was a bit reduced, the Petite Chapelle was hitting on all cylinders and it was simply a pleasure to taste such a great young bottle of Gevrey premier cru. The deep, pure and still quite...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (WA88-90 points) The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has an interesting Chambolle-like bouquet, ebullient and full of fruite. The palate is harmonious and languid in the mouth, very smooth and composed with quite a lush...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: An opulent version, exhibiting lush blackberry, blueberry, violet and spice flavors. There is ample sweet fruit to match the dense tannins from both grape and oak. Stretches out on the long finish, revealing fine...

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...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 91 points: (17.5/20) Mid purplish cherry. A real distinctive wine in terms of its style: ripe and spicy, fragrant, dark fruit. Similar on the palate, with a savoury, tannic finesse. Mouthwatering and gripping at the same time but...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (AG93-95 points) The 2012 Latricières-Chambertin opens with an exquisite and exotic bouquet. White pepper, orange peel, rosewater, mint, red fruit and sweet spices are intensely alive in the glass. This is a decidedly...
