Joli Vin imports
Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes, 2006
The grapes for the V.V. bottling come from a total of 10 separate lieu-dit, including La Justice, Les Crais, Murot, Seuvrée and Carougeot scattered throughout the village, with various blends of clay and limestone and thus providing a wonderful expression of all their separate strengths within the final assembly. Age of vines ranges between 50 and 70 years.
“Here the nose is ripe and earthy but stylish with dark berry fruit aromas that lead to rich, sweet and equally ripe medium-bodied flavors that offer plenty of fresh and fine depth, all wrapped in a moderately austere and classic Gevrey finish. There is good phenolic ripeness and this is a more than respectable village wine worthy of your consideration.”
