For this tasting we will go by commune as opposed to tasting by producer. This will give us a wonderful overview of the area and a chance to compare different producer's styles. The first area that we will visit is Gevrey Chambertin. Gevrey offers a whole palette of aromas and flavours. When the wines are young they offer up strawberries, raspberries violets and undergrowth and as they develop flavours of liquorice. 2009 as we know is one of the best vintages to roll around in a while so this will be a very exciting tasting. We will taste; Vincent Girardin Gevrey Chambertin VV and Cazitieres, Maison Roche de Bellene Champeaux, Tortochot Les Jeunes Rois, Champerrier and Champeaux then lastly Faiveley Cazitieres and Combe Aux Moins.
