Domaine Alain Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice

Starting to open up, dark ruby colour, rich nose full of ripe strawberries/raspberries. Very round and full-bodied, red fruit, a touch of leather and gamey notes, great value for Gevrey Chambertin.

Wine open 5 hours prior to drinking on Day 1. Color: Dull medium cherry red that is a bit cloudy with fine sediment mixed in. The sediment can more clearly been seen under a bright halogen light. Still has a very young appearance. Smells more like a young Vosne Romanee than a Gevrey. Nose: Pretty red berry and spice overtones. Better and more expressive then I thought it would be. I love the sweet floral, earth nuances. Taste Day 1: …

Wonderful burgundy nose, followed by a bottle drinking much better than we recall the last. If every Gevrey this price tasted like this, I'd have a lot more Gevrey in our cellar.

Lovely velvet/ruby colour. Ripe small red fruits on nose. Good balance of fruit/acid/tannins. Very soft. VG village.
