Tasting notes
The 1998 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru is fashioned from vines located (in equal proportions) in Petite Chapelle, Fonteny, and Corbeaux. It is medium to dark ruby-colored, and reveals an intense blackberry, kirsch, and cookie dough-scented nose. Medium to full-bodied, and offering magnificent concentration and power, this blueberry, black cherry, and toasted oak-flavored wine has huge depth and elegance. Fresh, expressive, and well-delineated, it does not appear to suffer from any of the vintage's negative attributes. Projected maturity: 2002-2010. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800.
