* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The weight and structure of this wine comes from the powerful 2002s, as much as from Gevrey-Chambertin. The wine is still very firm, dominated by dry, leathery tannins. Only when the wine is in the mouth for a while do the full, red fruits come through, although on the finish, the tannins close in again.

Heavily weighted towards tannins, here’s a wine that gains its power from the richness of 2003. It is big, densely compacted and firm, a wine that is solidly built around the black plums and berries.

Literally, the playing field, Le Clos de Jeu is the best known vineyard in Marsannay. This wine, from the chateau owned by Patriarche Père et Fils of Beaune, is light, easy to drink, but also has attractive ripe plum skin flavors. With its layer of tannin, it could age for a few years.

The wine is packed with jammy red fruits that give it juiciness and softness. Tannins are subdued, giving just enough structure to an otherwise forward wine. Imported by Cannon Wines Limited.

Big and rich, this wine just oozes rich, creamy caramel flavors. The fruit is superripe but still with good acidity and tastes of white peaches, toast and cinnamon. Give this wine another year and it will be delicious. Imported by Cannon Wines Limited.

Smoky aromas mingle with red berries in this attractive wine, which shows the proper weight for a Gevrey along with good fresh fruits, acidity and an important layer of dryness. Expect this wine to be ready by next fall.
