Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 16
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes has a floral bouquet, very expressive and charming even at this prenatal stage, with ebullient red cherries and redcurrant fruit, hints of cold stone developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is plenty of red berry fruit here, hints of spice and a touch of graphite seeping in towards the composed finish. Very fine.
Drinking Date: 2019 - 2030
