"A deep, dense, beautifully layered wine, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air flows across the palate with layers of blue and black fruit, violets, lavender and sweet spices. The Bel Air is at first quite round and supple, but there is plenty of underlying structure to give the flavors their resonance and vibrancy. The 2012 boasts gorgeous depth and exceptional overall balance."

The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
