Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes stands out for its striking aromatics, expressive fruit and total finesse. Silky and impeccably balanced on the palate, the Gevrey impresses for its depth and freshness. The 2011 is soft, supple and silky, with tons of near-term appeal; in other words, it is everything a village-level Burgundy should be in a vintage like 2011.
