* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A firm, structured wine. Although at Villages rather than Premier Cru level, it has considerable tannins and sweet fruits that roll around the mouth. The acidity and texture point to a good few years’ aging.

A straight, austere wine, very concentrated. Tannins are solidly extracted, giving a dry tough edge. It definitely needs aging.

Structured and concentrated, this is a wine for long-term aging. It has powerful dark tannins, acidity, a touch of leather and farmyard, all adding to the complexity of this dense wine. Age for at least six years.

Rich, packed with juicy fruit. The wine has weight, depth of fruit flavor and tannins as a central core. A smoky character indicates the wood aging, packing in with the acidity and black cherry fruits on the finish. Age for 5–8 years.

An impressive wine, full of smoky fruit, concentrated black cherry flavors and rich acidity. It has a complete feel to it, the tannins well integrated into the heart of the wine. There is a final freshness, liveliness, but don’t be fooled—age it for at least seven years.

Mineral textured, this wine pushes the power of wines in Gevrey-Chambertin. It is all tannins, dark structure, powerful acidity, very concentrated. It needs many years—10 or more.

Round, smooth, this wine lives up to its charming name. Yellow fruits and sweet grapefruit go well together, the wood and acidity showing through the ripeness. Juicy, toasty, the wine has an attractive edge on the finish.

At the pinnacle of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Grand Cru produces immensely powerful wines. This Jessiaume fits the profile well, while also having delicious juiciness to go with the dark tannins and acidity. The result is stylish as well as concentrated. Age for 10 years at least.

An appropriately rich wine, full, toasty and dense. The fruit is beautifully balanced with ripe acidity, just a touch of spice, citrus and an opulent, full-bodied character. It will certainly age, but is already very drinkable.

A delicious Volnay, all warm fruits and sweet tannins. The wine is soft as well as juicy, enjoying ripe cherry and red plum juice flavors. The tannins and acidity give a gentle boost. Drink now, or age for 3–4 years.
