Tasting notes
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes has a floral bouquet, very expressive and charming even at this prenatal stage, with ebullient red cherries and redcurrant fruit, hints of cold stone developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is plenty of red berry fruit here, hints of spice and a touch of graphite seeping in towards the composed finish. Very fine.

Close to Clos de Bèze. Racked into tank just prior to tasting. Heady. Savoury. Quite transparent. Lifted. Racy. Tingly and vivacious. (JR)
Healthy full red. Cherry and boysenberry fruit aromas are lifted by rose petal and violet, with a gamey nuance adding complexity. Silky on entry, with its cherry and raspberry flavors enlivened by pungent minerality. In a distinctly rocky yet smooth style, like a baby Griottes.
(from .67 ha parcel planted in 1940). This is notably more deeply pitched with its well-layered array of black cherry, dark currant, earth and wisps of forest floor. The suave, rich and caressing medium-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract that imparts a seductive texture to the velvety finish that is sneaky long. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
