2012 Gevrey Chambertin

Tasting notes
A markedly more elegant and slightly more complex nose features aromas of lavender, plum and violets along with plenty of earth character. There is a supple and very round mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a saline, delicious and refreshing finish that offers fine length. This is relatively forward and already accessible. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2017+

The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from around 15 parcels mostly from around the south of village and towards Brochon, the malo-lactics late and not finishing until July. It has a clean, pure bouquet with lifted cassis and raspberry fruit, touches of cold stone and a subtle marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, good depth and substance for a village cru. The wood shows just a little bit here, with a fine grip on the finish. Give this a year after bottling and you will have a dependable village cru. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
