Domaine Humbert Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8353
A subtle touch of wood spice highlights very fresh and if not bright, then expressive aromas of dark berry fruit, iron and underbrush notes along with ample amounts of Gevrey earth that can also be found on the intense, ripe and supple flavors that possess plenty of old vine extract..

Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8050
This possesses the most complete nose to this point and is classic Gevrey in character with big-boned and firmly structured flavors that display the expected earthiness and animale but also with sweetness and precision on the energetic and highly complex finish. The old vine sap and intensity really shine through in a transparent vintage like '06 and this is impressive for its level. Outstanding!. Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU2415
A complex nose of warm earth, underbrush and spicy violet laced aromas complement the rich, full flavors that are velvety and mouth coating on the seductive finish. This is accessible because of pinot baby fat but the almost invisible structure lurks beneath the velvet and this will definitely be a solid cellar candidate. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Humbert Gevrey-Chambertin
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7020
A slightly more complex nose features aromas of red and black fruit plus the same violet and floral notes that continue onto the spice, anise and pepper-infused middle weight flavors that are rich, full, fresh and textured with an attractive mouth feel and a supple yet linear finish. The tannins are firm but not aggressive and this is very Gevrey in character. An excellent villages.. Outstanding! Allan Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7805
This is definitely one for the cellar. Soon after its release, I logged these notes: spicy red and black plum, violet aromas on a muscular frame with full, rich fruit flavors and a well-textured finish.
Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7837
This is a really pretty wine from stem to stern with an expansive and broad-scaled nose that combines red currants, minerals, tobacco and rose petal with plenty of Gevrey earth that continues onto the fresh, sweet, dense and pure flavors that possess that beguiling quality of inner mouth perfume. The finish tightens up substantially as it's both structured and wonderfully persistent with a beautiful sense of underlying tension. Like the old vines Morey, this is a strikingly good villages and highly recommended. Outstanding! Top Value! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7512
A stunning nose that offers excellent aromatic complexity with deeply pitched notes of earth and dark berry fruit that lead to rich flavors, more earth and a subtle sauvage quality on the textured, explosive finish. Highly recommended. Outstanding! Top Value! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8052
Moderate reduction knocks down the nose though the mineral-infused flavors are rich, refined, supple and forward with good vibrancy and punch though the acidity here is less prominent. This is fashioned in an understated style and it's interesting that despite the lower acidity, there is a fine sense of overall balance. Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Claude Dugat Gevrey-Chambertin
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7134
In contrast to the nose of the Bourgogne, here the nose is expressive and ripe with a pungently earthy aromatic profile that also features red berry fruits and underbrush that continue onto the mouth coating, ripe and in contrast to Dugat's comments, very pinot finish. I very much like this though if is as structured as he suggests and it may require the better part of a decade to arrive at its majority. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cherbaudes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7654
Good deep red. Reduced nose dominated by smoked meat. Then deep, ripe and aromatic in the mouth, with a blackberry flavor complicated by a gamey nuance. Concentrated, fine-grained and sappy, conveying a glyceral impression. Finishes quite suave and expressive, with broad, fine tannins and lovely lingering perfume.
Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7655
Good red-ruby. Pure, discreet nose offers dark raspberry, brown spices, minerals and game. Juicy, sharply delineated and quite firmly built, with enticing inner-mouth aromatic character and verve. This is dominated by its structure and its slightly spiky tannins today and is currently rather subdued.
Domaine Humbert Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8355
This is clearly the ripest wine with an exceptionally pretty nose of fresh red pinot fruit nuanced by notes of game, warm earth and underbrush that is also picked up on the supple, sweet and detailed flavors on the muscled and beautifully long finish. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Humbert Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles St. Jacques
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8354
Here the nose is on the awkward side as it displays both some unintegrated wood and moderate reduction though the medium-bodied and rather serious flavors retain a fine sense of freshness and vibrancy with excellent purity of expression and seemingly buckets of minerality on the textured and primary finish that is impressively persistent. I have every confidence this will come together. Sweet Spot Outstanding Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Humbert Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6634
An elegant, pure, lacy and ultra refined nose of dense red pinot fruit and subtle stone and spice notes dissolves into detailed, layered and beautifully nuanced middle weight flavors that possess perhaps the best transparency of the entire range and simply stunning length. Like the Poissenots, this is an exceptionally sophisticated effort that is refined and harmonious. Outstanding! Allan Meadows - Burghound
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7339
This too is extremely fresh and vibrant with a highly expressive nose dominated by an intense minerality on the bright, elegant and airy red pinot fruit and hints of floral and violet notes that can also be found on the ripe, rich, full and stony flavors that are a model of harmony and transparency. This is textbook, indeed crystalline Estournelles and highly recommended.
Domaine Alain Burguet Chambertin Grand Cru Clos de Beze
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7815
There is reduction here as well but much more subtle and does not significantly hinder the appreciation of the spicy dark berry fruit aromas that precede the textured, intense and mouth coating flavors which are sweet, rich and powerful with fine but dense tannins on the wonderfully persistent finish. This is a showy wine that possesses real depth of character.
