Neal Martin

The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a complex bouquet: deep broody dark fruit, cold flint, undergrowth, hints of wild mushroom furnishing the aromatics. The palate is silky smooth with supple tannins, perfectly pitched acidity and a sensual, smooth raspberry and wild strawberry finish that is more like a 2012 than 2011. This is just divine – one of the best village crus you will track down in this vintage. Drink now-2024. 92 points

Antonio Galloni

The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes stands out for its striking aromatics, expressive fruit and total finesse. Silky and impeccably balanced on the palate, the Gevrey impresses for its depth and freshness. The 2011 is soft, supple and silky, with tons of near-term appeal; in other words, it is everything a village-level Burgundy should be in a vintage like 2011. 91 points

75-year-old vines. 1.5 ha in total. Real complexity on the nose. Mossy and autumnal. But relatively light and fresh and fruity on the palate. Because the wine is quite light, the acidity seems quite marked. Racy and easy on the palate, although I expect it will take on weight. 16.5+ points
