Gevrey-Chambertin

2007 Chanson Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin

Medium, medium-plus colour. Dark fruit and a more spicy, hebal width. Ripe fruit and plenty of structure – freshness too. Frankly, this will need a year or so in bottle, but the underlying fruit is very good.

Medium colour. Some width, high-toned, eventually a little red fruit peaks through with a floral backing. I’m almost surprised by the sweetness of the fruit. Some slight astringency and decent acidity. Not the pure focus of the previous wines, but nor should there be. Good.

Nice, dark cherry with slightly earthy tones. A lush width of fruit that has good balancing structure. Slowly lingering, less ripe fruit than the Marconnets. Very good.

From 6 plots whse vines average about 35 years old – there is some vine disease, but the payoff is lower yields and smaller grapes and clusters. Medium, medium-plus colour. A similar, slightly sweet aromatic profile but the fruit is darker. Supple, with good concentration. Very well balanced. The tannin shows together with the dark flavours as you head into the creamy finish. Very successful villages!

After a super Chambolle, the aromas here are more diffuse, though there’s a hint of Gevrey earth at its base. Good ripe fruit, excellent acidity and quite well-mannered tannin. Nicely mouth-watering.

A blend of Brochon and Gevrey fruit. Vibrant colour – did I say how much I love the colours? An understatedly perfumed nose. There’s plenty of intensity here, decent structure and a mouthwatering finish.
