    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin, Clos du Fonteny, 1er Cru, 2005

    A super Gevrey in the traditional mould, big, bold and packed with rich ripe hedgerow fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.

    ABV:
    13%
    89-91/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    Good ruby-red. Blackberry and violet on the bright nose. Pure and juicy but tightly wound; less obviously sweet and giving than the Petite Chapelle. In a more mineral, more uphill style. The tannins are strong but arrive late and then build. The Chambolle of Gevrey in our cellar, notes Clair.
