1995 Gevrey Chambertin

The medium ruby-colored Gevrey-Chambertin has an attractive dark, sweet cherry aroma with hints of cinnamon. In the mouth it is pretty, elegant, well-made light-to-medium bodied wine made for drinking over the next 5-6 years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
