Score 85-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Bright ruby. Bitter cherry and espresso on the nose. Palate dominated by chocolatey oak flavor. Not yet showing much flesh or depth, and thus comes across as oaky and tannic on the back end. This cuvee has gained velour in recent months, said Mortet, adding that it was even more tannic at the start.

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.
