2011 Olivier Bernstein Les Champeaux Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Rouge 750ml

2011 Olivier Bernstein Les Champeaux: Gevrey Premier Cru Finesse

The 2011 Olivier Bernstein Les Champeaux Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Rouge 750ml is a collector gem from Burgundy’s modern haute-couture micro-négociant. In particular, Les Champeaux perches on steep, rocky terraces at the northern edge of Gevrey-Chambertin, yielding Pinot Noir of immense mineral tension. In addition, over a decade of bottle age has softened its structure into complex tertiary elegance.

Tasting Notes for 2011 Olivier Bernstein Les Champeaux

The wine opens with mature aromas of wild dark cherry, black raspberry, forest floor, and dried rose petals. Furthermore, complex hints of black tea, licorice root, and warm clove spice emerge gently with aeration. On the palate, fine-grained, fully resolved tannins support a savory core of mature red berries. Consequently, the finish lingers with noble Burgundian poise, earthy minerality, and enduring freshness.
