Some days into 2010, the weather is still cold (very cold actually as it is minus 10c or so). We are all fed up of big meals, coffee and cakes and looking forward to the normal daily life again.
We had lots of Champagne bottles going into the festive season but now there is only two bottles left. So to round off the festive period I felt like trying some Burgundy wine and this time another Gevrey Chambertin was poured into the glass.
Lovely dark red colour with a wonderful elegant smell of red berries (cherries / raspberries) with hints of wet wood or forrest (we have already thrown out the Xmas tree by the way..). Gevrey Chambertin is slightly more northwards (from Beaune that is) and the wines have slightly more body than those further south and this one was no exception. Big seductive mouthful of "cold (not frozen)" fruit, lovely length and body with wonderful balanced tannins and acidity. A great start to the New Year of 2010. A very impressive Burgundy indeed.
Gevrey Chambertin "Les Evocelles" 2005 Louis Boillot Score 18.50 and around 40 to 50€ (from now and to 2014)
The wine would go well with all kind of birds and wild meat (deer for ex)
