($77) Good full red. Perfumed aromas of black cherry and smoked meat. Supple and perfumed in the mouth, with ripe acids keeping the wine's sweetness under wraps. (But this still comes off as sweeter than the basic village bottling, which I rated 87.) Offers good spicy intensity and verve, and coats the palate on the firmly tannic, persistent finish, which shows a late note of licorice.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2007Burghound | Rating: 90
An expressive nose of wonderfully fresh and bright red fruit nuanced by touches of underbrush, earth and wet stone leads to rich, sweet and full-bodied flavors that are obviously concentrated though supple and I like the detail and texture of the finish. This is very Gevrey in character with good ripeness to the structural elements. Worth a look.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 1st Quarter, 2007Wine Advocate | Rating: 89
From a parcel just outside Brochon, the Geantet-Pansiot 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois offers aromas of bright cherry fruit with sauteed mushrooms and chalk dust. Concentrated and compact on the palate, with persistently tart, fresh cherry, impressively mouth-coating if a bit marked for now by both its acidity and slightly austere tannins, this seems to ask for at least 3-4 years in bottle.Author: David SchildknechtJancis Robinson | Rating: 15
Inexpressive nose. Rather dull on the palate too. Maybe bottling shock? Tannins obtrude. Surly today.Author: Jancis Robinson

Brilliant, bright, light but structured, rasberry, blueberry, hints of vinella, a treal treat. Great now but has four to five, maybe more years to go. Great nose, nice finish, a reminder of youth.Author: Daddy
Burgundy is home to some of the greatest and most expensive wines in the world. Stretching from Auxerre in the north to Lyon in the south, the region's most famous section is the limestone-rich Côte d'Or. Vineyards in Burgundy are classified according to their locations on the hillsides. Only 2% of total production is from grand cru sites, while premier cru and village-level wines are more common. It is rare for one domaine to own an entire vineyard; rather the land has been divided down to individual rows, in some cases as a result of inheritance laws. While other varieties can be found in Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme. The best examples are capable of aging for 15 years or more, a rarity for these two varieties, making them highly valuable.
