Tasting notes
The estate's 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois opens with a gorgeous bouquet redolent of rose petal, pomegranate and spices. This shows lovely mid-palate juiciness in a supple, approachable style best suited to near-term drinking. The textured finish is quite inviting.

The estate’s 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois opens with a gorgeous bouquet redolent of rose petal, pomegranate and spices. It flows with lovely mid-palate juiciness in a supple, approachable style best suited to near-term drinking. The textured finish is quite inviting. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2019. David and Nicolas Rossignol began harvesting on September 12th. They used a fair amount of whole clusters, ranging from 33% or so for the 1ers up to 50% for the Grand Crus. The wines saw 14-21 days of cuvaison. After debourbage, the wines were racked into oak, roughly 15% new barrels for the villages, 33% for the 1ers and 50% for the Grand Crus. The malos were early and quick, and the wines were bottled between January and March 2011. A Becky Wasserman Selection, Le Serbet, Beaune, FR; tel. +33 (380) – 262 060
Rich and sweet and a little simple. No great concentration. (JR)
