"The impressive Gevrey-Chambertin exhibits rich, sweet spice, cherry and tobacco flavors with a long finish." Wine Spectator, August, 2007. Wine Maker: "Jadot Gevrey-Charmbertin shows the qualities characteristic of the commune (region): deep color, with a multi-faceted berry and red fruit bouquet, a full, tannic structure and mellow texture carry into a lasting finish. This powerful and perfumed wine requires elaborate and strong-tasting food: leg of lamb, boeuf bourguignon, game pâtés, strong cheeses." Wired For Wine: Gevrey-Chambertin is frequently thought of as the King of Burgundy...a fitting description as its wines have unquestionable concentration and strength while maintaining their regal Pinot character. Gevrey-Chambertin tends toward darker fruits and power, with tannins that are more sophisticated than wines of other villages which at times sacrifice grace when achieving extraction. Gevrey-Chambertin is arguably the finest example of the surprising intensity that Pinot Noir can achieve in the most special terroirs. Size: 750 ml Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir Vintage: 2006 Region: Gevrey-Chambertin, northern Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
