Domaine François Gerbet Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2007




One of the most celebrated Grands Crus, from Burgundy - somebody also supports the most overvalued - over 50 hectares, very parceled – about eighty owners. A wonder to behold, with its chateau surrounded by the walls.

A very difficult vintage, in Burgundy, where often it is the winegrower's ability to make the difference.

Gentle attack on the nose, with aromatic moods that are not allowed at the first glance, but needing half an hour to be defined. Then the class makes its way, declaring itself, precisely, through blueberry and strawberry, raspberry and cherry, violet and lavender, a subtle minerality and a slight spicy touch.

The palate confirms the delicate feelings and reiterates the refined elegance expression fruity, which also enlists confit tones. Balanced acidity, with fine tannic frame and fine mineral character.

A good persistence, but has been lacking, the jab, in depth. However, it is remarkable the interpretive sensitivity about this vintage, by Chantal and Maire-Andrée Gerbet.
