Tasting notes
This bright dark ruby-colored wine has an awesome nose reminiscent of blueberry compote. On the palate, this highly-concentrated, chewy-textured, medium-to-full-bodied, extracted, and profound wine offers candied cherries drenched in Asian spices. This delicious, seductive, and sexy wine also possesses a long finish. Drink it between 2000 and 2006. Importer: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800.

About the producer

This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
