Tasting notes
Candied blackberries and brambleberries make up the aromatics of the 2000 Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs Vieilles Vignes. Medium-bodied, it exhibits a cedar-tinged chocolate and blackberry-flavored character. Broad, lush, and expansive from the attack to the mid-palate, it reveals a firm tannic edge in its finish. Drink it over the next 4 years, while the fruit remains dominant. Importer: Martine’s Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400

Bright red-ruby. Sauvage aromas of wild red berries, leather and meat. Bright, concentrated and packed with flavor; complex and stylish for village wine. Seems less obviously oaky than most of the foregoing samples. Offers enticing, subtle sweetness, with solid underlying acid spine. Finishes with even, mouthdusting tannins and noteworthy nuance. This, too, should develop slowly in bottle.
About the producer
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
