Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 86
The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a light approachable, slightly smudged cranberry and strawberry nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a simple, soft opening, crisp and slightly rustic red berries with a touch of spice on the finish. This is easy-drinking Rousseau. Drink now.

Medium red. Maraschino cherry and spices on the very ripe nose, plus a whiff of game. Sweet and fleshy in the mouth, with red fruit flavors complicated by coffee, mocha and gibier and accented on the end by pepper and herbs. Offers good body and breadth for this cuvee and finishes with supple, ripe tannins.

Old oak. Pretty light and tight. No great depth compared with the Fourrier wines I have just been tasting but maybe it will all open out? And take on breadth.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2023
