Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevery Chambertin 2007
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010The big thing about buying wine in bond is that you are supposed to stash some aside for drinking later. Especially if, like me, you are fortunate enough to own a Combine Harvester.
So how come, I’ve already drunk 7/12 of these bottles that arrived from the Sunday Times Wine Club in August 2009 with a recommended drinking date of up to 2014?
Well, good is good, and brilliant is brilliant, but this wine is awesome. I can’t stop pouring it down my neck as if I was a human decanter.  Smooth yet spicy and zingy, it is everything I could wish of a Pinot Noir. Tar, tea, cranberry and redcurrant and worth every penny of the £21 per bottle it eventually cost me.
Finally, one in the eye for the Kiwi arrivistes.
Stumble It!
