Gevrey-Chambertin is a wine with a beautiful, bright ruby colour. Intensely fruity on the nose, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry, wild blackberry & liquorice. The woody character is subtle & marries delicately with the other aromas. As the wine evolves, there are more complex notes, such as mild spice, nutmeg & leather. Later still, mushroom & damp earth nuances make their appearance. Although present on the palate, tannin is never astringent but blends itself harmoniously with the natural freshness & 'gras' (velvety texture) of the wine. The same aromas encountered earlier on the nose are found again in the aftertaste.
