Domaine Maume
Aux Etelois Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Glue components - flawed. Overall a disappointment not just this bottle but all the other ones i tried from this vintage. Seems like they had acidic acid bacteria in the vineyard. The acetic acid reacts with ethanol you get ethylacetate and 'viola' glue taste.

Sep 29th, 2017Big dark fruit. A little burly. Black currant a hint of vanilla? Cardamon? Stone and earth drink now. So when young i rated this wine high but then consistently less then 9 so this vineyard is just not up there!

Sep 4th, 2017It's election night and this wine has cherries 🍒 but overall it's a light weight with not enough stuffing may be the poor vineyard is catching up with this. (I might have rated this higher in the past). I will try this tomorrow again. +++ Slightly better the next day with added weight and complexity. +++

Nov 9th, 2016This wine was closed when we opened it but the next day it turned out to be a gem. Keep for another 3 years. Great balance between acid and fruit. Tannins resolved over night and now the wine has dark berry notes and a hint of bitterness and dirt! The ripeness of the 2009 vintage shines through but is well managed. Beats any California Pinot at the price level ca. 50$ when I bought it. This is how Burgundy should taste! Low 13.3%. For a Gevrey at the village level stellar!

hedonistic; intense graham cracker nose. Thought it was new world because there was very little earth and tons of what I perceived to be wood but I really liked it. You'd think this lacks finesse, but it was very elegant.
