Thursday (November 15th 2018) offered the possibility to attend Le Roy Chambertin, a annual tasting held in connection with the Hospice de Beaune auction – in Gevrey Chambertin and by the producers of Gevrey.
Most producers are attending generously providing cask samples of some of their wines – this year the 2017 vintage. Thanks a lot to all the people supporting this and arranging the event.
It’s a lovely arrangement and the perfect opportunity to taste a wide range of Gevrey.
Finding the new and improving
I use these events to find new and improving producers, rather than trying to make a wide range of tasting notes.
So positive selection – find the good stuff … And never disregard a producer or a wine barely on a poor barrel sample.
The positive selection from Le Roi Chambertin
I found many fine wines at Le Roi Chambertin – 2017 is a delightful vintage … and I already tasted some of the wines there.
Here are a few known or less known:
Domaine Tawse/Domaine Marchand Tawse – lovely wines – I tasted the range in early June 2018 … and they are just delightful .. both the Lavaux and the Mazis-Chambertin are well worth collecting.
Domaine Cecile Tremblay offered a taste of the Chapelle-Chambertin – needless to say … lovely wine in the making – a lovely and actually relatively forward wine.
The Faiveley lineup showed very well – I have more on the Faiveley wines in a separate article – the Clos des Issarts, the Clos de Beze and the Cazetiers are showing delightfully.

Hello Steen,
nice to hear you liked Jérômes wines. He also makes a nice red and white Bourgogne, a red and a white Côte de Nuits Villages and a great wine from almost 100 years old vines in the “Les Retraits” vineyard in Comblanchien, located just south of the wall that limits Nuits St. Georges most Southern premier cru vineyard Clos de la Maréchale.
greetz,
Werner
