🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH Louis Boillot's 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Les Cherbaudes 1er Cru is a vibrant expression of a promising Burgundy vintage, offering 【a fresh, red-fruited profile with excellent supporting acidity and good length】. The 2014 vintage in Burgundy was a relief after difficult harvests, with a dry and luminous summer yielding wines of firm structure and perfect acidity. Gevrey-Chambertin performed well in 2014, producing perfumed and medium-bodied wines with bright cherry fruit and a balanced palate. This wine is noted for its freshness and being "open for business" while still benefiting from a bit more age. Expect a pale ruby color with a medium and developing nose of ripe red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, forest floor, wet leaves, potpourri, tobacco, leather, and violet. The palate is juicy with dark and red fruits, fine sap, and structure, showing a certain austerity on the finish that suggests it needs bottle age. It offers liquorice, coffee, and blackcurrant aromas, with cocoa and coffee notes on the palate, good freshness, present tannins, and a long finish. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This Gevrey-Chambertin pairs wonderfully with hare stew, venison, and mature cheeses.
