The Gevrey-Chambertin 2012 from Dennis Mortet is still very youthful. The oak is quite dominant in the nose (caramel) - the fruit is relatively fresh offering both red and darker berries. On the palate fine fruit - good freshness and medium length. Need time ... not a very complex wine currently. …
