- Like Domaines Leroy and Frédéric Esmonin, Vincent Geantet had already bottled his '02s, explaining simply that he prefers to capture the fruit while it is still fresh. He was extremely upbeat about the vintage, declaring that I love this millésime! It's well colored and it should keep extremely well. As if to justify this remark, he went on to note that it reminds me a lot of 1990, and they kept well didn't they? He reports sugars as coming in between 12.5 and 13.2% with yields in the 42 to 43 hl/ha and a rather broad range of pHs, from 3.2 to 3.5. All wines see approximately one-third read more...new oak except for the Chambolle, which is 50%. These '02s are consistent with the Geantet style, which is to say juicy, succulent and fruit forward wines supported by ripe, round tannins and no hard edges. (Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY, Kysela Père et Fils, Winchester, VA; Howard Ripley, Goedhuis & Co. and Domaine Direct, UK). Note: from vines between 49 and 62 years of age The wood is much more subtle and is limited to the nose, framing attractive, mineral-infused, even slightly chalky red fruits that precede wonderfully elegant, intensely pure and refined flavors and a long, linear, beautifully balanced finish. It's as if Chambolle comes to Gevrey and I very much like this. It should be approachable young yet the impeccable balance should permit it to age well. (hide)
