Gevrey Chambertin

Its colour is a bright ruby, turning to deep carmine or dark cerise with age. Strawberry, mulberry, violet, mignonette, and rose all help to make up their bouquet of spontaneous aromas. More maturity brings out liquorice, leather and fur, with gamey notes and hints of underbrush. On the palate, it impresses by its firm structure, velvety tannins and delicate texture. Pleasant when drunk young « on the fruit », it is nevertheless first and foremost wine for aging, often for long periods.
