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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90-92 points) The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Au Closeau has a very attractive ‘bonbons’ bouquet – like walking into a sweet shop – very pure and fragrant. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins. There...

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...

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...

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...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94) One of the most explosive wines in the range, the Gevrey-Chambertin Alea is dazzling. Rich, sumptuous and succulent, this medium to full-bodied Burgundy delivers superb intensity. Layers of blue/purplish fruit...

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, 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...

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...
