Gevrey Chambertin Wine

Roughly 15 kilometers south of Dijon, the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin strives to enter the pantheon of French viticultural titans. As with the rest of Burgundy reds, Pinot Noir defines the texture and flavor of Gevrey-Chambertin wines, infusing the bottles with the region’s distinct terroir. A good wine tells you a lot about the earth that gave birth to it, as well as the spirit of the people whose hands were involved in the production. By that logic, Gevrey-Chambertin bottles each tell a story that could match “War and Peace,” as their textures and flavors evoke images of expansive, lush valleys and the comforting, unique charm France is known for.

In terms of flavor, you’re in for the time of your life. As the wine opens up and shares its secrets, you will be immersed in a whirlpool of juicy cherry and tangy blackcurrant. A sensation of musk and licorice tops off the experience, leaving you simply screaming for additional helpings. People who appreciate fine wine tend to love food that goes well with it, and vice-versa. In this case, try enjoying a glass or two of Gevrey-Chambertin with grilled red meat, or perhaps some rabbit stew. You’ll never skip a meal in your life when it’s another excuse to break out amazing wine like this.

If you wish to add some Gevrey-Chambertin charm to your cellar, we have you covered. It’s our goal to provide a selection of the finest wines each region has to offer, and it’s impossible to regret the acquisition of a wine of this stature. Try to save it for special occasions, moments where you want your guests and loved ones to get a deep understanding of what you see in wine. Alternatively, indulge in a bottle privately, late at night on your porch, while the skies vivaciously change color.

1990 domaine armand rousseau gevrey chambertin 1er cru clos saint jacques Burgundy Red

The 1990 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru is magnificent. It displays stunning definition on the nose; there’s no messing about as it ladles out captivating raspberry, wild strawberry and light oyster shell notes. Though opulent and reflective of the growing season, the bouquet oozes class. The palate has a sorbet-like freshness and so much vitality after 31 years, building toward a perfectly symmetrical finish featuring vivacious morello cherries and raspberry coulis and hints of bay leaf. This is simply Rousseau in full flight. How do you follow that pair?Vinous Media | 97 VMThis was a wine that I was quite curious to try because while I had the good fortune to have enjoyed it several times in the 1990s, it had not come my way since 2001. I’m happy to report that it did not disappoint with its ripe yet airy aromas of sous-bois, spice, earth, game and beautifully well-layered secondary fruit. There is fine richness as well as very good power to the delicious and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that exhibit equally good layering on the impressively persistent finale. This is not a particularly elegant vintage for the Rousseau CSJ and there remains enough tannin to notice on the slightly warm finish but overall, I found this to have aged out extremely well.Burghound | 93 BHThe outstanding Gevrey-Chambertin-Clos St.-Jacques possesses a saturated deep ruby color, and an explosive nose of black fruits, spicy new oak, flowers, and truffles. In the mouth, the wine is dense, seductive, and ripe, with low acidity, glycerin, and alcohol in the finish, making it a voluptuous, opulent mouthful of chewy Pinot Noir. Drink it over the next decade.Robert Parker | 90 RPA supple 1990, with a firm core of solid tannins and enough fruit to compensate for the tannic backbone. A well-integrated wine, with lots of raspberry, mushroom and wet earth flavors. Best after 1996.Wine Spectator | 90 WS
