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.

2001 a rousseau gevrey chambertin clos st jacques Burgundy Red

(Domaine Armand Rousseau, Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru Clos-St-Jacques, Burgundy, France, Red) Medium-full colour. Rich, concentrated, high quality nose with a touch of new oak. Fullish body. Profound. Youthful. Excellent grip. Very impressive finish. Splendid quality as usual. Will still improve. (Drink between 2003-2025)Decanter | 96 DEC(Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin "Clos St. Jacques" 1er Cru Red) Knockout aromas of wonderfully intense black and red cherry fruit loaded with cassis and a touch of new oak introduce medium-bodied, sweet, harmonious, very expressive and long flavors all underpinned by racy minerality and firm structure. The tannins are prominent but ripe and the density of extract is impressive and this both coats and stains the palate. As it always does, this delivers finesse with real mid-palate punch with near perfect grace. For my taste, I would hold this for another 1 to 3 years but it would be no vinous crime to be drinking this now. Note to be sure to serve this cool as the alcohol becomes noticeable if it becomes a bit too warm. (Drink starting 2013)Burghound | 93 BHRousseau’s 2001 Grevey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is a very pretty wine, bursting from the glass with a projected bouquet of rose petal, cassis, red cherry, cedary new oak and sweet forest floor. On the palate, the wine is youthful but expressive, with a sweet, almost candied core of succulent fruit, framed by supple tannins. At first glance, this seems to epitomize Rousseau’s elegant style, but by the time the bottle was finished, the wine had begun to seem just a touch facile and diffuse, missing the intensity and concentration that this bottling can attain.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 92 RPGood medium red. Strawberry, coffee, rose petal and smoky oak on the nose. Sweet, ripe and plump, with aromatic flavors of plum and spicy oak. Here the nearly 100% new oak percentage (the foregoing wines get little or no new oak) adds considerable sex appeal and nicely frames the wine’s rather delicate fruit. Finishes long, subtle and aromatic, with an impression of finer tannins.Vinous Media | 90 VM
