Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château was not tasted at the domaine, but at a private La Paulée, where the owner Louis Ng poured this wine. I include it here for convenience. It has a bright red cherry and crushed strawberry nose laced with orange zest that leaps from the glass. The palate is very well balanced and harnesses the succulence and intensity of the vintage. It might be a village cru, but that does not stop it from exhibiting exuberance and vigor on the finish. Just delicious.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 09 Jan 20
Bursting from the glass with an expressive and fruit-driven bouquet of red berries, plums and peonies, the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château is medium to full-bodied, open-knit and charming, with an ample core of moderately concentrated fruit, succulent acids and melting tannins. This is a supple, giving Gevrey in contrast to Rousseau's more serious, age-worthy historic communal cuvée.
