"Jeremy Seysses noted that it is getting harder and harder to contract for fruit for the Fils et Père villages bottlings, as the succession of very short crops in the last few years in Burgundy has left nÊgociants a bit desperate for supply and willing to pay a serious premium for fruit in the last couple of years. The 2013 Gevrey AC is quite lovely and very red fruity this year, offering up a pretty nose of strawberries, cherries, a touch of sous bois, woodsmoke and a stylish base of soil. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright and nicely soil-driven in personality, with suave tannins, fine focus and grip and lovely balance on the long finish. This will certainly be a very tasty bottle of Gevrey AC with a few years bottle age."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
