Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques

Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques from France, Burgundy, Gevrey-Chambertin by Jean-Claude Boisset Nuits St Georges (6 x 75 cl)

This Gevrey-Chambertin Le Creot has a good depth of ruby red colour with a touch of brick on the rim. It is intensely perfumed with red fruits and some spicy, smoky notes. The palate is concentrated and powerful, with excellent depth of ripe, rounded fruit, a solid backbone of chunky, tightly-knit tannins and a long, smoky finish. Gevrey-Chambertin has 330 hectares under production at the northern end of the Cote de Nuits. Here, Le Creot, is located on a gentle slope near Brochon, considered to be one of the best areas in the appellation. ‘Cré’ in old French refers to the presence of chalk in the soil and ‘ot’ refers to the height of the vineyard on the slope. (6 x 75 cl)

Domaine Armand Rousseau 1er Cru LAVAUX St. JACQUES Gevrey-Chambertin from France, Burgundy, Gevrey-Chambertin by Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin (6 x 75 cl)

This Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Claude Boisset is made using fruit from old vines, primarily from two Premier Cru vineyards in Gevrey. Boisset used to buy wine from the grower who owns the Crepiot vineyard, but since Gregory's arrival they buy grapes instead. In addition, Gregory has worked closely with the grower to improve the quality of the fruit arriving at the winery. This quality shines through in the finished wine, which has lovely black cherry fruit giving way to a minerally yet luscious character on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)
