Description
In a nutshell:
An impressive and structured example of one of the great appellations in Burgundy
The lowdown:
Gevrey-Chambertin has a reputation for being one of the weightier wines of the Côte de Nuits. This example from Château de Laborde is certainly in that mould, but does it well without going over the top. Only a few thousand bottles of this are made each year from vines which are around 40 years old. On the nose a delicate rose petal perfume lifts the cranberry and dark fruit notes which follow through to the palate. On the tongue there's a little bit of black pepper to balance the sweeter spicy notes while the velvety tannins give it all a smoothness that lasts through to the long finish. Textbook Gevrey-Chambertin.
The Producer:
The historic and somewhat faded property of Château de Laborde was acquired by Hervé Kerlann and the end of the 1990's. In the subsequent years he's renovated the buildings and transformed the estate to become a leading light in the Côte d'Or. Their nine hectares of vineyards are mainly in Gevrey-Chambertin and all winemaking is done at their state-of-the-art facility at the Château.
When to drink:
This is a Burgundy that will go well with steak and red meats as well as poultry and game.
