The 2010 Olivier Bernstein Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru hails from a micro-négociant who, despite not owning vineyards, sources fruit from prestigious appellations and has quickly established himself as a superstar in Burgundy. The 2010 vintage in Burgundy was generally well-regarded, producing wines with good structure and aging potential. 【Known for its fleshy, generous wines with textural depth】. This wine displays a bright rich purple color. The nose is described as very classy with lots of energy, offering rich fruit that is poised and chiseled. Aromas include black raspberry, licorice, espresso, smoky minerality, ripe plum, and dark berry fruit with a distinct earth component. On the palate, it is sweet on entry, then juicy and sharply chiseled, with penetrating acidity giving the raspberry and floral flavors great inner-mouth energy. It builds on a core of expressive, intensely perfumed dark fruit, with dark red berries, flowers, and spices beautifully woven together on a soft, seductive finish. The finish is sappy and mouthcoating, with a positive youthful bitterness that suggests at least six or seven years of cellaring. Stephen Tanzer noted its juicy, spicy, and sweet character with excellent definition of flavor and a noble texture, culminating in a classy finish with suave tannins and juicy berry notes. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir would pair beautifully with classic Burgundian dishes such as Coq au Vin, Boeuf Bourguignon, roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, or mushroom-based dishes like truffle risotto. For a more Eastern touch, consider Peking duck or slow-cooked pork belly. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or a contemplative evening with fellow wine enthusiasts. Its complexity and evolving character make it a perfect choice for moments that call for a truly exceptional red Burgundy.
