The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin is a pretty, delicate wine to enjoy over the near term. Crushed flowers, dried berries and sweet spices linger on the ethereal, fleeting finish.
Medium bright red. Reduced nose offers musky cherry, minerals and spices. Pure but a bit skinny, with red fruit flavors dominating. Finishes with a saline element and a note of black cherry. Left a distinctly medicinal aroma in the empty glass. These vines were picked on September 7 and 8.
