2009 Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Denis Mortet, Burgundy beaujolais Wine SpectatorThe 2009 Gevrey Chambertin is a pretty, sleek wine layered with elegant fruit and vibrant perfume. This shows lovely focus and energy, not to mention terrific overall balance. I would not be surprised to see this merit a higher score with further bottle age.
