- Playlist with all my Gevrey Chambertin reviews: • Gevrey Chambertin
This video marks the 50th addition to that playlist! I don't think any other channel on UA-cam has as many Gevrey Chambertin reviews as I do... and I doubt anyone cares! Especially not anyone in the wine industry, whenever I've tried to interact with "professionals" on social media it's usually met with sneering condescension because I'm just an amateur. Not that amateur wine buffs are universally friendly and welcoming either!
Bought from Berry Bros & Rudd, actually from the St. James's store, they had the 2020 vintage on the shelves there, but online it seems only the 2021 vintage is now available: www.bbr.com/pr...
Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone. Everything I know about Gevrey Chambertin is down to you!
Thanks Mr WC21 - any idea how it works with the Guinness Book of Records? Do I just wait for them to call me?
@@BurgundyWithTweedy it might be an email or a WhatsApp these days. When Norris McWhirter ran the shop, I believe he used to pop round in person!
Blow your own trumpet as much as you want🎺🎺🎺. Well done on reaching 50. I hope the UA-cam gods are fashioning a plaque for you. It's richly deserved.
All the best!!
Many congrats on the "50 Geoff's not out", keep doing what you do, it's great !! Cheers 🍇🍷
Congrats on a great milestone old (young) bean! Here’s to the next 50 🍷
Thanks Seán!
Gevrey Chambertin is my favourite area of Burgundy of the few that I have had wines from. For midsummer this week I'm thinking of buying a 2019 Savigny-Les-Beaunes Premier Cru from Maurice Ecard.
Congratulations John.
Well done Tweedy! I enjoy your videos!
I enjoy all your tastings so much so I bought some of them. Keep going to 100, please.
haha great video. As an amateur wine enthusiast, I love your videos (not that my opinion is worth much)! Keep em up!
Congrats Tweedy! Keep it up. I was just last week in Gevrey where my bicycle chain broke, but this disfortune brought me to Leclerc for a tasting and visit to their enormous and daunting cellar or better yet dungeons! Did buy a 2016 Cazetiers. Did you try any Cazetiers or Aux Moines on your channel? Cheers
Thank you! No I don't very often have any 1er cru Gevrey Chambertin, and although I think I have tried a Cazetiers it was before I had the channel so I didn't record any tasting notes unfortunately!
Just come across your channel. Impressive achievement. Love GC - I'm currently drinking through a case of Bellene '12.
I had not thought of drinking Burgundy that young; perhaps I should try it judging by your comments.
I have yet to find a bottle of chamberlain but live in hope.😊
Harsh comment ……. we do care 👍😀🍷
Present company excepted of course!
@@BurgundyWithTweedy 👍😂
Hi Tweedy. I was advised that burgundy needs at least 10 years before it becomes approachable but I know you tend to drink more recent vintages. What's your view on this? Cheers keep up the interesting work.
I think it depends on a lot of factors, not least personal preference! In my previous video: ua-cam.com/video/_VgkLObo4Rk/v-deo.html
...I was tasting Berry Bros & Rudd's Gevrey Chambertin, a 2019 vintage made for them by Rossignol Trapet. I had previously had Rossignol Trapet's 2019 Gevrey Chambertin sold under their own label. You'd think those two wines would be practically the same, but actually they appeared (to me at least) to be very different. I believe BBR specifically requested Rossignol Trapet to make a wine for them which would be ready to drink relatively soon, whereas Rossignol Trapet's own labelled version was presumably intended to be laid down for longer. I'm not sure I understand the specifics but I get the sense in the winery (and maybe even the vineyard?) there are various parts of the process they might do differently if they're trying to make a wine to be enjoyed young, vs a wine they expect to be aged. So I really don't think there's any hard and fast rule about how long Burgundy should be aged for.
For me, Burgundies around 4 or 5 years old are often very good, and I like wines with lots of intact fruit character, and perhaps some floral notes. I'm not really a fan of high levels of tannin, so if a wine was produced in that style (e.g. as a result of whole bunch fermentation, or heavier extraction) then I probably would want to wait a few years for that to soften. However a lot of Burgundy (particularly from the producers I really like) is fairly delicate on the tannin from the outset so that often isn't a problem.
As wines get older some of the fruit tends to fall away and instead you get more tertiary notes. The classic things which develop with time from Pinot Noir are forest floor, mushroom, and I often find leathery notes and things like tobacco in older Burgundies. To be honest I've never really been sure why aromas / flavours like rotting leaves and old armchairs are considered desirable! I'd far rather have a nice fresh bowl of cherries!
Makes sense, I suppose like most things wine it comes down to personal preference
