NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Lucien Boillot & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin reveals a deep ruby color, indicative of its concentrated nature.The bouquet offers an alluring complexity of dark berries, violets, and a hint of earthy forest floor, underlined by a subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is both assertive and refined, with flavors of ripe cherries and blackcurrants, accented by notes of licorice and fine-grained tannins that contribute to a velvety texture. The influence of oak is present but well-integrated, lending a gentle toastiness that complements the fruit. The finish is persistent and layered, revealing the age-worthy potential of this exemplary expression of Gevrey-Chambertin.
