Tasting notes
A bit odd on the nose – over the top? Not the cleanest, most straightforward nose. Round a right angle… A bit too chewy on the end. Is this a bottle thing? (JR)

(38% new oak): Bright, dark red. Riper on the nose than the Symphonie but with a musky, reduced quality to the aromas of dark plum, raspberry and menthol. The dark fruit flavors suggest a later harvest here but Jean-Luc Burguet nevertheless described the raw material as "just short of full maturity." Flavors of black cherry, dark plum, menthol and minerals are juicy and tight but carry well on the firmly tannic back end. Avoids the slight dry edge shown by the Symphonie.
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes has a modest nose with slightly smudged, quite earthy red berry fruit. The palate is crisp on the entry, building gently in the mouth with hints of blood orange and black pepper towards the nicely structured, almost conservative finish. A decent Gevrey, if not one of my own favorites.
