2013 Gevrey Chambertin Cuvee Bertin

The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin Cuvee Bertin, named after Virgile’s son, tends to excel in cooler seasons according to Virgile himself. It has a fresh, ripe strawberry and raspberry-scented bouquet, uncomplicated but pure and vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a gentle grip – solid in the mouth but just a little “blocky” on the finish at the moment. This will drink earlier than the domaine’s other 2013s, though I would still afford this two years in bottle.
