I thought this was a pretty good négociant village Gevrey-Chambertin from the 2009 vintage. The wine’s a medium intensity ruby in colour, bright in the glass, and with tears evident. Its aromatics are of medium intensity and developing aromas of tobacco, clove, plum, charred wood, a little bit of volatile acidity (varnish) and even some rubber. The palate is dry with balanced acid, soft tannins, medium body and flavours of tobacco, clove, plum and wood. It’s a good quality wine due to its balance and the complexity of flavours on offer of tobacco, clove, plum and charred wood, which together gave the wine a savoury note, and some typicity reminding of the Côte de Nuits. Overall, this is pretty good value for the price and ready to drink now. Good
