First of a bracket of 9 Grand Crus from Gevrey Chambertin from the 2013 vintage which was a slightly rich vintage for the reds- a small yield. This wine showed a hint of black pepper. Medium plus intensity on palate with an extended finish. — 9 years ago

From a perfect looking bottle bought 10 years ago in Paris at Caves de Taillevant where it was stored since release. Yellow gold color. Lemon, citrus, allspice, petrol, wet stone notes in the mouth. Huge acidity and structure in the mouth with great fruit. Overwhelming impact makes your face flush with the first big sip. Very long finish. My epiphany white burg wine many years ago delivers once again. Will certainly improve with another decade of age. — 9 years ago

Another one of the Grand Crus- this wine is insane- limestone imparts a bracing minerality, laser focus. — 10 years ago

The first of 34 Grand Crus from the 2013 vintage. A mammoth task but someone has to do it. All tasted blind. First bracket of 7 whites - all pale lemon in colour. Notes of sweet citrus and trademark oyster shell. Also a touch of honey. Long. — 9 years ago

I've had about 6 of these 08 grand crus and all have been really good, no premox on any. This one was creamy, with strong seashell minerality and lemon/apple fruit. It has Medium plus body and everything is well integrated at this point. I doubt it will get much better, but it seems like it will hold its current quality for a quite some time. — 9 years ago

RATINGS
Publication: Burghound
Rating: 91
(from Fourchaume and Vaupoulent). A deft but not invisible application of wood set off ripe and fresh aromas of green fruit, pear, apple and quinine wisps. There is excellent richness and volume to the sappy, lush and textured medium weight flavors that possess both good punch and focused power, all wrapped in a clean, dry and ever-so-mildly austere finale. Lovely and a relatively elegant example of the cru. 91/2020+
Publication: Vinous
Rating: 91
Pale, bright yellow. Deeply pitched, youthfully subdued nose hints at nectarine, caraway seed and mint. The most intensely flavored of these 2014s, showing firm acidity and saline minerality for this often exotic premier cru. Offers an enticing balance of citrus and stone fruit flavors and salty lift and finishes with very good subtle length and sneaky energy. — 9 years ago
