Tasting notes
The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is from four parcels around the commune, raised in 60% new oak with half destemmed. It has a forward, quite high-toned bouquet at the moment that is showing more of the new oak than, say, the Pommard. The palate is succulent in the mouth with plenty of cassis fruit. It is very concentrated on the finish, although I would like to see it develop a little more finesse by the time of bottling.

50- to 104-year-old vines, 70% whole bunch, two-thirds new oak. Very sweet and ripe on the nose. Racy and with real zip. Should be very rewarding even if never subtle. Very firm for now but packed full of fruit. Quite a bit of acidity. (JR)
A slightly riper nose features aromas of cassis, spice, earth and violets along with sauvage nuances. There is plenty of muscle on the extract-rich, intense and impressively dense middle weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the overtly powerful and moderately rustic finish. This is a very serious Gevrey villages that will require at least a decade of bottle age before it will be ready for prime time. 89-92
